Busybusy busy

Having gotten away for a week with my family, I am feeling recharged and ready to continue my forward momentum. My coming months will be busy with the goal of only becoming busier. Here is a short list of current projects I am working on.
  • My performance schedule is quickly filling. I should have a show every week for the next few months.
  • The recording project featuring other musicians performing my songs, is coming together. Matt Harmon, John McGrail, Morgan McCaskey, and Alan Grandy have all turned in recordings. Hearing what others bring to these songs has reassured me that these songs are good, and that my friends are incredibly talented. I will keep you posted about the release once I have all the recordings in.
  • I am taking on a manager to help with marketing, booking and management. One thing I am sure of is that I can't do what I want to do alone. After one short talk I am already inspired by the ideas being presented. I will make an official announcement soon.
  • I have been engineering and helping to produce a CD for Songwriter Mendel Singer. He is a very talented writer and is joined by blues player Joel Allen, who has recorded 3 projects with me over the years.
  • My student roster is growing. Teaching guitar has been such a blessing while adapting to/overcoming my current physical limitations. I look forward to taking on many more students.
Last year when I made the decision to rededicate my life to music, I had no idea what was in store. It has been a wild and difficult ride since that time. As the dust begins to settle I can see that I am moving in the direction I had planned. My life is what I want it to be.
