Saturday will find us in Harvard Square, right near the T stop, playing an acoustic set at 4PM. There will be music all over the area, unplugged, all day. It’s an intimate way to hear music, without a sound system between instrument and ears. If you’re in Cambridge and near the area, stop by and listen for a few songs!

Lyrics of a new song for the Maestro Motley:
Maestro
Daniel Senie © May 2011
A wise man taught us long ago
To share the love within our hearts
Sing with joy and we would know
That we’d each done our part
And so we’d sing for diplomats
‘twas peace we’d celebrate
Sang for the Pope and immigrants
For kings and heads of state
A lifetime of memories, of wisdom and of grace
We lived them all together, right here in this place
A lifetime of giving, of the music in our souls
That’s the gift he gave to us to keep, as we grow old
Now it’s time to say goodbye
To a mentor and a friend
But each of us knows just why
He’ll be with us without end
A lifetime of memories, of wisdom and of grace
We lived them all together, right here in this place
A lifetime of giving, of the music in our souls
That’s the gift he gave to us to keep, as we grow old
