Monday 

Good afternoon, whoever-reads-this! Finally getting around to putting up another post. Today was my annual Eye Exam. I've been going to the Prairie Eye Center since 2011, when I had cataract surgery. I was pretty sure my eyes were still okay, but it's nice to hear from them. It's one of the few things I don't worry about;..

Music news. Lots of work on the guitar these days, as in practicing. I've recently unlocked one of the secrets of the Universe. Well maybe not, but I had something of an epiphany with a change I made in my right hand. By angling the pick, I'm catching those notes I used to miss, and am also able to move around a lot better. It also gives you a better time-feel, right in the pocket. 

This is also making for more YouTube videos. Lots of work, but also lots of fun!

in other music news, I have a new album. It's called Big Hair, Big Dreams. You can hear the selections here. It's somewhere between Smooth Jazz and Fusion as far as style. Later this month, I've got another one set to release. It's called Pianoramics, and is more along the lines of modern classical music. Kind of a virtual chamber orchestra. 

Nothing on the books as yet. Enjoying a nice slow month after a busy one. I am getting together again next month with the bass player and drummer who worked with me at Boone's, just to get more playing in. So sooner or later, we'll be out someplace making trouble..

Well that's my news, such as it is. Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. Happy Monday to you, if that's possible. For now, ich bin outa this place. More later.
