Pete and I rocked the radio thang yesterday. Here’s the link: http://archive.kpft.org. We played the Song Writer’s Studio spot — August 15th at 6pm. “For Life”, “Hold My Breath”, and “Mary Lou” all sounded great. Very pleased. Thanks to everyone over at 90.1 KPFT. And a shout out to Pete (www.petesimple.com), you are the Goose to my Maverick. However, we should probably stop playing beach volleyball with our shirts off. I burn too easily and the dog tags give me a rash.

Oh yea, we ‘re playing at the King Biscuit Patio Cafe (http://www.thekingbiscuit.com) this Friday night from 8pm – 11pm, and Dave’s gonna hop up on stage with us (Ransom… not Matthews, but he’s still a bad-ass www.daveransom.com). No cover – no excuse. They’ve got great food too. See you’s dere! ~Peace

I’ve been listening to the new DMB album entitled “Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King”, and I must say that it’s their best work since 2002. Definitely a great relief for fans to see the creative juices flowing. Unfortunately, I think that this breakthrough came shortly after the passing of saxophonist and founding member LeRoi Moore. (moment of silence) Leave it to catastrophe to bring everyone together in naked honesty and respect. Too often does enlightenment require a brick to the head (or heart). People, today, use “I wish…” as if it were oxygen, but I wish that we could find a way to love the present just as we do the past. Ain’t it a &%$#@! Only when _____ is gone, do we find our deepest regret, joy, anger, and love for _____. Perhaps it’s just me, but then again, perhaps no one reads these posts anyway. Until the next show (or purging of the mind), “carpe diem… seize the day, boys… make your lives extraordinary.”

Great movie, and an even better feeling! It’s done. Only days stand between me and a college degree. I’d like to thank the academy, my agent, and my fans. Without your support, I still would’ve made it…but it would’ve been much, much harder. Also news, Lamar High School has hired me to teach Senior English in the fall. Words cannot express the sense of accomplishment I feel. Wanna help me celebrate? Come out to The Corkscrew on June 1st around 8:45pm. I’ll be playing in tandem with Debbie Forest. Until then…peace, love, and Go Rockets!

Teachers…

…should make more money. I’ve officially started my student teaching at Lamar High School, and boy is it ever tiring. Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at my next show. I’ll be playing at The Corkscrew on March 2nd (Monday) around 9ish with my good buddy Pete. Well, back to work!

Arrg! Community Bar Cancels

Well, I just got word that The Community Bar gig for Wednesday has been cancelled. If you were planning on coming out, I apologize for the short notice. It was out of my hands. But stay tuned, and we’ll see each other real soon. Hope your new year is going well thus far! Until the next… peace.

Just droppin’ a line about my birthday bash on Dec. 30 at Capone’s. What a night! Thanks to those who came out. My friend Charles, a fine percussionist, flew down from Brooklyn for the holidays and decided to hop on stage with me and Pete. Playing with the trio was definitely a blast from the past. If you missed it, here are a few clips. From left to right: Charles Holt (shaker, djembe), Me (guitar, vocals), and Pete Lippincott (guitar, vocals). Enjoy!

“For Life”

“Hold My Breath”

New Year's Resolution…

TO ROCK!!! No, seriously, I just booked the first of many shows to come in 2009. Location - The Community Bar. Yea, I’d never heard of the place either, but that’s only because it’s practically brand new. Formerly LeMond’s eatery, this new lounge/wine bar in Midtown is trying to make a name for itself, so I thought I’d head over there on January 7th and ROCK OUT!!! Also, a very special guest and dear friend, Pete Lippincott of Petesimple will be joining me on stage. We’re gonna “do the duo”. (Giggity!) The ROCKING shall commence around 8:30pm. Bring thirsty buddies! Oh, and have a Merry Christmas! Or if you’re a teacher… have a Merry “Winter Break”! :-)

Giving Thanks

First, a shout out to those who came to the Via Colori Festival. The show went well, I made a few new friends, and words can’t describe what the weather was like. I want to send a special thanks to Beth Kille www.myspace.com/bethkille. Second, the Boheme gig has been cancelled. Recently, Boheme has received numerous complaints about the late-night noise, so its live music schedule has been suspended indefinitely. Whatever. What are ya gonna do, you know? Until the next, take care and have a safe Thanksgiving holiday.
