Hey Folks, Things are picking up for summer. I’ll be back in Connecticut at the National Guitar Workshop from August 1 to 6. I will be doing the Fingerstyle Arranging Seminar again. Here is a link to the online brochure I’m on page 8. If you’re a musician at any level check this out. It’s not just for guitar players, drums, keyboard, bass and vocal are also offered. You can also specialize in many styles.
I’ve been working on getting some gigs for this summer and will be posting them on this site and some others. I’m currently working solo, with Hard Pushin’ Papa, Blues Highway, Trainwreck City and Bettin’ the Farm. I have started recording songwriter Nellie Holmes’ songs in hope that she will have her own CD out sometime this year. I’ll keep you posted on developments. There’s a good chance that Hard Pushin’ Papa will be backing up Deborah Dunleavy for a woman’s take on the blues. If we can pull it together that may be another recording to look forward to. Needless to say things are getting busy. So I gotta get back to work.
Don’t forget to buy yourself and all your friends a copy of the Hard Pushin’ Papa CD. We could use a little help from our friends. Most of that busy I just mentioned is funded with thin air.
