Welcome

Hello one and all!

I’m in Hatteras North Carolina for a few days of sun, and water, and…work, but that’s all good, as long as the sun is somewhere in the equation. Since we last talked I’m back here stateside again after a European tour I took with my family. There are some photos for you to check out, and an in depth, (sorry, I rambled on again) account of some of our adventures across the pond that we’re going to split into several segments.

Since then, life has been shows in July and August with Jimmy Buffett, and also on my own. Thank you's go out to all my friends in Madison WI, to all at Lutheran Men in Mission for a concert we did for their convention in Omaha NE, to all our friends in the Toronto area, the Maple Reefers and other clubs in the area for hosting a fantastic house party, our friends in Ellicotville NY for a great night at the Gin Mill with brother Jim on bass, and then Key West Phest with Club Trini in Erie Pennsylvania. Thank you all for your support and for supporting this music all along!

In September we’ll be playing a few shows with Jimmy Buffett in PARIS. There is some talk about a possible show with Mac McAnally and myself there, sponsored by the West Coast Music Club. We’ll let you know for sure asap.

We are looking forward to playing a few shows coming up in early October (back in the US) with the PMG, then it’s on to the West Coast with Jimmy Buffett to finish up, for this year, shows with the Coral Reefers.

Some good news. Key West Florida is back on the schedule again this year! I will be down at Meeting of the Minds doing a few shows, one on Thursday, the 30th of October, sharing a night with Scott Kirby, and then again on Saturday the 1st of November for a 2 guitar acoustic show with just Scott and me.

We’re now putting dates together for our Stars and Promises Tour 2008, so stay tuned and we’ll hope to see you in or close to your home town.

I want to wish you all the best as we head into Fall of this year. We all wouldn’t be here doing what we do without you.

Happy listening and as always, all my best,
