Howdy strangers...

Howdy all. Here I am in the 2nd day of the last 3 days' worth of gigs with the Claire Lynch Band, and I thought I'd take a moment and say hello to y'all. It's been quite a while....


Yep, you have probably heard that I am leaving the CLB and this is my last weekend tour with them. Joining her in my place is Matt Wingate, and I wish him well, as I do Jason Thomas and Mark Schatz. Claire has had many players in her bands over the years, and I have been working for…

Winter & Spring

Listen!

I think you will hear me if you push the 'listen' part.



Lately I've found myself almost obsessed with Honey Bee's. I mean I wrote a song called The Honey Bee Way,I hear other songs about them, see them in stores, and hear other folks talking

about them. Bee's!!! I love them. I think what's really happening is that I'm getting over-anxious for Winter to finally finish and Spring to get going.

I live in Minnesota Winter is really Winter here it was a… Continue
