September 13, 2011 - Last week a friend encouraged me to keep up the blog.... I lose sight of time so easily as seasons pass (much as I think we all do). Again delay, and now September. Much of the past weeks has been developing the Fall schedule - a number of House Concerts and other venues as I plan my "I need to get the next CD done" tour. Hoping to concentrate activity in a way that helps me raise enough to get the CD out. Not sure of the name of it yet, "Fulton Street", "Geography of Love"... other names may come and go. Its a good collection of songs that need to be winnowed down, so the tour will help in a way. I'll watch for reactions, get feedback... The songs span from the mid 2000's to now and may yet include some of the three or four that I am presently working on. In all, they represent a journey through many, many places and states of being. It is an ever-changing world and I suspect that these upcoming shows will be part of it. Already on the schedule for sure are Oklahoma City, Dallas, Philadelphia, State College PA, Reno NV and Boston. Waiting for confirmation include gigs in New Jersey, Rhinebeck NY, Helena and Kalispell Montana, Port Townsend WA, DC and Knoxville, TN. I'm open to other ideas and look forward to your thoughts and suggestions. More entries coming this week as well as the start of the calendar update!
I should note here, and will note again in the next few entries that I am joining Tim Mason in Salt Lake for two gigs as the Bone Collectors, our poetry/music collaboration in late September. More on those soon.
