New Page. It's All Good.
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
Here we are. A brand new look. Thanks, Pierre. Hope you friends and fans out there like the up-date. I'm hoping it's more accessable. The last page was engineered so I was unable to up-date it myself which kept it consistently out of date. I'd been leaning heavily on my Myspace page for info and music up-dates. I realize that a lot of people aren't into myspace. So, it's high time this page got a face-lift. I'm getting back out there. I've had some time off for family things: illnesses, birthdays, holidays and the quest for my wife and I to join the ranks of mortgage payers. I've had to take some time away from music to put together some of the legal tender to make this most American of dreams a reality. God willing, this summer we'll be home owners. I've got a show coming up in Hastings on the 25th of April at a place called Antoinette's. My friend Matt Turk put in a good word for me and got me the gig. I can't wait to play. I'll be booking shows through the summer and fall and with some luck have a new record out and a heavier performing schedule in the new year. Fred Gillen's once again working with me on another disc. I miss the folks out on Long Island at Folk Society and all the other places I've played. I know I've slipped off the radar a bit, but I'm inching back. Hope you haven't forgotten about me. Your kindness lives with me every day. My record "It Is What It Is" wouldn't exist without it. Here's hoping this entry finds you all well and making the best of some trying times. See you soon.
