It was such a frantic trip that the new CD didn't get finished, but we're working on it long distance...
11 new songs in all, 10 originals and a cover. It's more 'Americana' than pure blues. Yeah, sure, there's a couple of stone-cold blues tracks. But for the first time there's tunes that are more JJ Cale, lots of lap steel.
You'll like it. But you gotta wait a bit longer.

Buy Nothing Day
Not a bad idea. The day after Thanksgiving is normally the busiest shopping day of the year in the US. But is Christmas about presents? Is it worth re-thinking the holiday, focusing in friends and family?

Packing list for Alaska
1 Flannel shirt, old
2 pair of jeans, faded
1 poly-fleece vest.
1 pair hiking boots
2 pair heavy socks
a strat in a gig bag
a good, long book
a heavy jacket (packed in a suitcase)
1 warm, wool sweater from Shetland
and an early-morning taxi. It's great to be going home, even if only for a bit. I think it was Oscar Wilde that describe home as "the place tha, when you have to go there, they have to take you in". He never made it to Alaska. And I'll be there in 24 hours.
I am ~so~ ready to go home for a bit, recharge batteries and not worry about my accent.

~ In the home stretch ~
Yes, yes. One week from today and it'll be all winding down, and you guys in Anchorage will be resting your feet and falling back on your favorite hangover remedy.
In case you are in Alaska but don't get out mcuh, Saturday November 10th at 7:30 is the 6th Annual Blues for My Brother benefit for the Brother Francis Shelter. Check out the poster below for the line-up and ticket outlets. If you're going to indluge in the Sumday show at the Marston, better get tickets early. It's turning out to be a popular show.
Remember this is all to help the Brother Francis Shelter provide last-ditch support services, transitional housing and counseling services to the homeless in Anchorage. It's a powerful place, and certainly worthy of your support. I'll be taking some of the musicians on a tour on Friday afternoon next week. Email me if you'd like to tag along.
Oh, and all that aside, it's going to be a great party. Great musicians, great friends, some beer, wine and food, and a big dance floor. See y'all there, stop in and say hello!
