More Shows …

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Hi,
There will soon be a new area on the site called “places I’ll be playing” where you can check for upcoming shows, but in the meantime I’ll just tell you about a few of them here. May 31 at the Ram’s Head in Annapolis, June 4 and 5 at the Point and Tin […]

Tip of the iceberg

Wednesday, April 27th, 2005

O.K. - we got the “members only” area going. Please be patient while we iron out any kinks with different browsers and such, but it seems to be working well so far (thanks to Todd). There will be a lot more songs and maybe some video up there soon - so stay tuned […]

Coming Soon

Saturday, April 23rd, 2005

Peter and I just had dinner with Todd (our most excellent web-designer) and we have a few new ideas that we are going to implement over the next couple of weeks. For one thing, the “members only” area is coming together and it should be up and runnning very soon. Also […]

War Talk

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

At the risk of inciting another left/right political argument, I read Arundhati Roy’s collection of essays entitled War Talk this weekend while I was in San Francisco (Berklee actually, hence the reading material). Whether or not you agree with her, she is a passionate and beautiful writer who is inspiring in […]

Spooky Ghost

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

To answer one of your questions, Gerry Leonard (The Ghost!) is indeed playing his guitars and devices on the new record, along with Jeff Allen on bass, Doug Yowell on drums, and Jay Bellarose on drums and percussion. Kevin Killen was manning the boards and hopefully he’ll be mixing the record soon. […]

Sorry!

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

After re-reading my last post, I think it does sound kind of arrogant. I should have posted it within the previous thread because it was actually an answer to some questions in that thread. Please accept my apologies and understand that my next release will be offered up with a most humble spirit. […]

White Limousine

Monday, April 11th, 2005

So you all want to know what it’s going to sound like do you? Isn’t it better to be surprised?
I will say that I certainly hope you all find it to be dark, sophisticated, and pop-unfriendly. And I will say there is a bit more piano, wurlitzer, and rhodes on this record than […]

In the Limo w/ Mr. Poe

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

David Poe came by last night to record the background/harmony vocals for “White Limousine”. His voice is killing. Hopefully he will sing on a few other songs as well and we will be a few steps closer to being finished with the new record (which will probably be called “White Limousine” by the […]

My Space

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

I see some of you guys are now my “friends” on myspace.com. Nice one. I have no idea what this site really does but it is a very entertaining waste of time! For those of you who are on myspace, what is your impression of it and how do you interface […]

Important Read

Friday, April 1st, 2005

I just finished a book by John Perkins called Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
It is an excellent read and I think it helps explain, for example, why we are really at war in Iraq, why terrorism has emerged as such an important issue in recent years, and how America uses its […]
