Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a delightful summer. I have
been really busy gearing up for my live recording
release in October and am really excited to finally
share it with all of you.

Special thanks to Lou Judson for his recording
artistry and to j from reapandsow who gave me the idea
of making this a digital release. I may do a limited
run of CDs sometime in the future, but really want to
encourage all of you to download everything! It just
makes more sense ecologically and economically these
days!

I also urge all of you to check out reapandsow's
fantastic website and see the incredible variety of
musicians and musical offerings there!!

New CD in the works!

In other recording news, I have been busy in the
studio with the amazing Cesar Cancino on piano and
arranging, Fred Randolph on bass and Bob Blankenship
on drums. So far we have recorded three beautiful
songs, "The Very Thought of You", "Love Me or Leave
Me" and "Easy Living" This will be a very romantic
recording (with some sweet, kinky twists!) and I can't
wait until I can share it with you :) We are hoping
for a release date sometime early next year(2009).

Cesar has been amusing me with hilarious tales of
being on the road with Joan Baez...
