Hi All

It’s been a very busy month and a half. I’m gigging almost every two weeks with the Shufflehounds. We’ve also been doing some recording in my studio for a demo project. Sure have had a lot of comments about my tiny little drum set. I must admit, you don’t often see a drum set with a 16 inch kick drum with such a big sound! Sophie and The Shufflehounds is getting tighter and some of the tunes are really coming together nicely.

We just finished a gig at a big club here in town called Fandangos. It reminded me of the good old days when we played big clubs and had huge P.A. and lighting systems. Lots of fun!!

Between gigging with the Shufflehounds and rehearsing with KickbacK (sometimes twice a week), my technique has got much better and makes playing so much easier … and fun!

My wife and I are busy organizing our wedding anniversary party. Kickback will be playing. My dad may do a few tunes also. Sophie and the Shufflehounds will do some tunes. We hope to see friends, family, workmates and fellow musicians. Basically, the music biz has been busy as of late and that has allowed my playing to get better. That’s very gratifying for an old guy. :-)

Talk to you next time.
