Robert Alexis and I have just finished the raw tracks on an eight song disc we will be releasing very soon. It is just Me and Robert on Mandolin w/ Miss Black doing beautiful harmonies. Looks like we will be doing a Chouse show in the near future for a release party. Woo Hoo!!

Good Grief! I am a lazy lazy man! Well, let me catch you up on what all has been going on. I had a bout with throat cancer in 2007 but it looks like they got me taken care of. I feel as good as I ever have and it seems much easier to sing without bad cellular material growing on your throat! I have written a ton of new tunes since my last update and am in the process of trying to get them into some sort of release. Wess, Terry, Alexis and Mish have performed with me at venues like The Red Cup, The Deep Deuce Grill, Cafe Plaid and The Mabee Gerrer Museum of Art to name a few, but I have also been doing a lot of shows with Robert Bartlett. Robert is a fine picker of many instruments but tends to gravitate towards the mandolin when we do shows. I have had the privilege of playing guitar for him on some of his shows and there will be a bunch of mandolin on this new recording. Our most recent show was at Michelangelo's in Norman in October and it featured 3 of my students who are turning into very fine young writers. Thanks to Alisha King, Max Barger, and Eli Wimmer for their fine performances. Anyways I have had great fun as always playing, teaching, writing, performing, drawing, painting and showing art. Stop by the studio and say hello anytime)

The depot show on December 29 was a great success. WIll McCaskill and Double Saginaw Familiarity performed with us and the house was packed(  (always a good sign ). Wess McMichael was quoted as saying "There was spontaneous applause through out the evening and there were no produce items hurled at any of the performers." Thanks to all who came and thanks to all who donated funds to make the show happen.

Wess and I played at Joseppis in Stillwater Oklahoma and I have to say we were treated real well by those folks. We thank all of you who came to the show and I would like to say thanks to the staff at Joseppi's. They were as kind as could be.
