It’s official, I’m going nowhere fast! I visited the States to see family, play a couple of shows and record a session. The cloud of volcanic ash spewing out of Iceland means I’m going to hang out in Chicago until at least Wednesday (instead of this past Thursday)… WOOHOO! It’s a trixie one because there [...]

So I’ve been fighting a kind of sore throat since the weekend. It’s been just bad enough that I haven’t been able to do any ‘real’ singing – but just NOT bad enough that I still went a rehearsal last night in hopes that I could… what exactly? I have no idea. Work through it? [...]

2010 is the year of the musician! Well, for me, at least – and I’m freakin’ LOVING every minute of it… It occurred to me that I don’t usually blog about what I’m involved in, so I thought I’d take up the habit of blogging about all my musical shenanigans. That way my ‘thousands of fans’ (aka [...]
