ALSO,

The Marsh happy hour has been really fun, it's a great relaxing environment and very casual with great food, wine, etc.

Ahh, Summer.

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

I'm glad summer is here. I'm working on my next CD/download release. I wonder what we'll call it when cd's are obsolete. I've always called them albums anyway. It's always been a collection of songs, so calling it an album seems right. If I said record, that's not totally correct, but it would be a recording, so, hmmm maybe that's the way to go. I'm not sure.

We've never said my next LP, or vinyl. Either way, I'm fine tuning my next bunch of songs/pieces, whatever.

I had the pleasure of working with Grammy winner David Darling recently. What an amazing guy! He won this years Grammy for best new age album. Check out his release, "Prayer for Compassion". It's beautiful.

Spring Is Here

Finally. I'm currently composing new music for my next CD/Download release of mostly original music. I hope to have it finished by the end of August. Check back for updates.

The indie film, "Tamie Tuschi's Toys", I worked on with Melody Gilbert and Kierstan Chace is one of the finalists in the Doc Challenge competition. It was a pleasure working with such successful film makers.

Trio at the Chambers Hotel

The trio at the Chambers Hotel is really sounding good. I highly recommend coming down and checking it out.

It's usually Gordy Johnson on bass, me on piano, and Phil Hey, Alden Ikeda, or JT Bates on drums.

Friday nights we have Marc Anderson on his hybrid percussion kit.

The food is great, the wine is excellent.

We hope to see you!!

Gordy Johnson and I are now playing Friday and Saturday nights at the Chambers Hotel in Downtown Minneapolis.
