Music News

Well,

I've been playing like a maniac lately. I'm playing Fridays and Saturdays every other week, and it's been great. I just learned how to play and sing "Lie In Our Graves" by DMB. I've always loved this song, but I could never play and sing it at the same time. Now, with my Loop Station, I can also play the instrumental break in the middle of the song. I've never been so pleased with a cover. I've also just learned "But Anyway" by Blues Traveler. It's a fun song, but I haven't quite made it show worthy.

As far as my music goes, I sold 2 more cd's last night. That's such a rush. So, a big thank you goes to James and family for your support. My parents also bought my the new software I needed for my new studio for my birthday. So, Lava Lamp, my next CD, will begin the recording process soon. I hope to have it finished in the next year. Of course, I'll need the proper funds to get it out to the public;)

As far as hightlights from my shows:
East Bay: I played "Lighthouse" for the first time in years. The crowd loved it. Perhaps explaining the background and meaning of a song is good thing;)

Moose Mountain: James and family watched intently for an hour when the place was almost empty. I played my heart out for them. It's incredibly rewarding when someone is really listening.

Well, I hope to see you guys out at a show sometime. Perhaps I'll try to get a Charlotte gig for all you guys up that ways. Any suggestions on a Venue? I'd also need someone to be my legwork man up there. Columbia is another viable option as well. Perhaps a Lost on Tuesday Acoustic reunion could happen there.

Peace, Love, and Funk,
