I am very happy to announce that I'll be doing a Dancing With No Shoes On! family music program every third Thursday of the month beginning in September at Happy Valley Public Library. I have done a number of programs at the library over the past few years, and I feel like I have developed a special relationship with the parents and children in this community. I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to get there on a regular basis.

Dates for our program:

2017

• September 21st - 10:30am
• October 19th - 10:30am
• November 16th - 10:30am
• December 21st - 10:30am

• February 15th - 10:30am

Welcome back to the sanity of school routine! I've got a new schedule this fall, and I'm looking forward to playing some music and teaching some guitar!

I'm adding a few classes at Multnomah Arts Center this fall. I love teaching here! Portland Parks & Recreation does a good job keeping this programming affordable for families with children! Check the catalog for dates. Please note that the catalog's times for guitar classes are not correct. See below:

• Monday 9:30-10:15am Sing Along (18 months to 3 years)
• Monday 6:30-7:15pm Group Guitar (Ages 8-13)
• Monday 7:30-8:30pm Group Guitar (Ages 13 & up)
• Wednesday 10:3011:15 am Sing Along (Ages 2-4)

Dancing With No Shoes On! weekly music is also returning to the Village Ballroom on Thursdays. We'll be starting a little earlier this year - at 10:00am! (Please note that the third Thursday of every month DWNSO! takes a break and the Village Ballroom brings you the Waggle & Flap Dance Party.)

On the grown-up side of things, I will have a new CD finished and hopefully available in time for the holidays. Please keep an eye on my "adult" music at ChuckCheesman.net.

I'm also accepting a few new guitar students in my home studio.

Thanks so much for your support! I look forward to seeing you soon,
Chuck

I have a fun new video for my song "Milkstache Blues" up on my Dancing With No Shoes On! Youtube channel. I'm wearing my dark sunglasses and playing a fun little blues guitar called a Martin CEO-7—which I really love playing almost as much as I love having chocolate chip cookies and milk!
