Dec 1 - I can't believe all these months have gone by without me updating this blog. But I guess there's no time like the present. What's been happening since last time we spoke? Alot and not much at all. In July I got laid off from my day job. A few weeks after I was fortunate enough to have my entire catalogue picked up in a bona fide music library. I've had lots of nibbles and the music has been heard by quite a number of music supervisors. No bites yet, but I'm hopeful.
One of my creative impulses that I've held back on for a long time is that of being an author. A long time ago, before my songwriting days, I had published one childrens book and had a single short story published in a literary magazine as well as a "Best of" anthology. During the time I was recording HotDogs I was thinking I'd maybe set about taking up the pen again. So here I am, coming up for air on Dec 1 after hunkering down all of November, I was able to knock out the first 150 pages or so of my second attempt at a novel. The goal is a roughly 300 page manuscript, first draft completed.
I promise that I'm not quitting music, far from it. I have slated for the near future an upcoming instrumental EP, and I am going to start an online guitar course. I'm still thinking of how that's going to look, but I'll post updates about in here and in my emails.

April 25 and the new release is starting to percolate through the digital world, a mere molecule of music swimming in a vast and seemingly infinite ocean of songs and rhythms. We are so lucky this day and age to have such easy access to music from everywhere in the world, seemingly at the touch of a button.
The track "Cold November" has been gaining a bit of notice, its being playing now SMRadio out of Milan,Italy! To listen to SMradio connect to the link www.silvermusicradio.it Sundays 4-6pm (Italy time).
The added it to their Spotify Playlist SMRadio-Groover as well, if you can't wake up in the middle of the night to tune into the radio station.
The good folks over at IndieValleyMusic.com wrote “ "Cold November" is a standout piece that demonstrates great skill and dedication in music production.”
Cold November can now be a heard on the IndieValleyMusic Spotify playlist too. Its a very big playlist so you might be listening for awhile before it crops up.
