Local musician and music teacher Rick Homan (and friends) will play a set at the Bazaar Cafe on Friday night from 7-9pm. Admission is free and the cafe has tasty food and drink.
He’ll be playing one of his newer songs about the health care crisis, “I Can’t Afford to Go on Living,” live for the first time. And his wife, Ann Homan, will give the first public performance of another song by Rick, “Lost in Space.”
Rick’s compositions include jazzy love songs, topical satire and the occasional meditation on what it all means. Rick’s song-writing influences include Fats Waller, Tom Lehrer, Woody Guthrie and Randy Newman. Check out more of his work at RickHomanMusic.com.
Sharing the bill Friday evening will be Tom Stafford at the piano offering original songs, along with his back-up singers, The Alley Cats.
Below is Rick performing his latest tune, “Old Dude”, which is about, well, getting old. The Bazaar Cafe is located at 5927 California Street, between 21st & 22nd Avenues.
