Chad Coe: News

The first thirteen images in my photo section will be on exhibit and for sale from November 15th through December 31st at Dizzy's Restaurant in Park Slope. I have been told the Giclee prints are stunning, but I have yet to pick them up. There will be four 24x36 and nine 16x20 prints.
I am considering a second surgery to try to counter the effects of a cortisone injection. It is an issue to date, but I remain hopeful.
Dizzy's Restaurant is located at the 7th Avenue F Train stop, which is at the intersection of 9th Street and 8th Avenue in Brooklyn. 511 9th St, Brooklyn 11215 Phone: 718-499-1966

Ok, so September is here. I'm just not ready to gig yet. Also, I will hold off on teaching lessons until I know how the next month or so goes. I have realized it is still possible to over do it, and I still have a way to go before I can make commitments.
Again, I want to say thanks to the kindred spirits from my past who have been emailing. I think a person can only dedicate their life to an instrument because they find intrinsic value in playing. If there are other rewards, so be it. It has been quite challenging to find something to replace the time I used to spend playing. I generally get what I am looking for in photography.
I have been selecting images for a photography exhibit at Dizzy's in Park Slope. It will start November 15th and run for a month. They feature a local artist every month. Peter and I made a trip to 125th street to shoot photos not too long ago. Check out his work through my link if you are unfamiliar with him. My negatives were botched in processing, but I will put up one that I salvaged on the photos page. We have discussed a trip down to Mississippi to photograph, so perhaps we could work that out. Chad

Could it be that they are ending? I am moving on. I heard you George Chuvalo.

It has been good to hear from many old friends recently. Jamie, I may test your soldering skills. I am beginning to play again but will withhold observations for later. Sarah and I just returned from Singer Island where we had a great time. Anyone up for fishing off of the pier at Coney Island?

For those reading this stuff, my cast is off. I'm headed in the right direction and can't wait to get my hands on the guitar again. I am conceptualizing an original album by bouncing ideas off of Sarah. I have spent a lot of time watching Muhammad Ali fights, listening to Chet Baker (who knew?), and doing occupational therapy exercises. Peter and I may go shoot some pictures in the city soon. Happy Birthday Sarah! Bye

I'm back home after the surgery. I was told it went well. No guitar for three months....what else is there? It's time to read some books, pull out my camera, and write some music. Thanks to those who have emailed, sent cards, and called. Chad

Peter Leitch and I spent the afternoon with our archtops today. We had a great time and recorded some unrehearsed stuff. Check out the music section for the sounds...

I'll be having surgery on March 31st to repair a torn ECU tendon and TFCC in my left wrist. I can't play for three months, and then I will have to start again gradually. This will supposedly end three years of constant pain. I'll try to record something before then for the website. Bye, Chad
