Welcome back to OMN’s Coffeeshop Conversations yet again not at Artichoke Music, although we’re getting closer.

I’m at my desk in Northwest Portland and Paul K Ward is in his studioblue on the other side of town, at the controls along with our guest making a return appearance, saxophonist, vocalist and educator and once again a resident of Portland…….our friend Reggie Houston.

He’s got a new band, something I’m eager to hear about. He has a birthday gig coming up at EAT that combination restaurant and venue that’s been a home to him and various ensembles he has put together.

That’ll be on Wednesday, July second.

Reggie has done several memorable Coffeeshop Conversations so let’s get rolling on this one
