CD Release

My solo album is currently being printed. I've set a date for cd release concert on Saturday, January 12 at 7:30pm at the Grand Theatre Company in Winter Park. The electronic and physical version will be available for sale by then if not sooner!

Psyched

I am almost finished with my solo cd project. I am going to work with grammy winning mastering engineer David Glasser the day after tomorrow to put the final touches on my album. James Tuttle, who works together with David Glasser at Airshow Mastering, just finished finalizing the mixes. To find out more about their company, go to www.airshowmastering.com.

The cd will include thirteen original songs with my overdubs on almost all the instruments and vocals. One of the tracks features Tammy Yurich on back-up vocals and Greg Travis on cymbals. There is a lot of my guitar, bass and dobro, and some mandolin and ukulele in a few song too. I'm planning to send the master recordings off to the manufacturers by the beginning of next week. I was hoping to have a product in time for the holidays, but it may be a little tight. The electronic version should be ready very soon, but the physical cd packaging may take a little longer to complete. I'll keep you updated when the cd comes out. I'm very excited about the album, and I'm proud of the music on it.

Quote

Here's a quote from Al Gore:

Future generations will look back at the beginning of the twenty-first century and they will ask themselves, "How did they" -- meaning us -- "how did they find the moral courage to change the pattern of history, to break through to a new way of thinking about the place of human beings on this planet, and successfully solve a crisis on a planetary scale that so many people were telling them was impossible to solve? What happened? How did they break free of the political sclerosis and spiritual catatonoia that paralyzed them for decades and quickly realize that the survival of human civilization was at stake? How did they then, with great imagination, creativity and spiritual courage, put in place the sweeping reforms that saved the ecological basis for human civilization, restored the balance essential for human survival and lay the foundation for the rewarding and beautiful civilization that we enjoy here in the future?"
