Summer.....finally. Well not officially, that happens later in the month of June. But unofficially, summer really starts
happening right after the Memorial Day Holiday. I am confident that all of you took the neccessary time to honor those service
men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Our country. I can never express enough to
our military personnel how enormously grateful I am to them for their being always on the front lines of our freedoms.
A service and these freedoms I hope that we, as a grateful nation, never take for granted.
For me the Summer season is such a magical time. The bright sunny days and the warm summer nights host a variety of magical
phenomenoms that speak to the mystery and the bounty of a Northeast Summer season. The obvious are the fireflies that arrive
on the warm sultry nights of early June. It is an amazing and wonderful sight to see their flights of fancy tickling the dark
woodlines on the warm soft breezes of June. For me their light steaks are nothing less than romantic dancing in the dark.
Last night I heard the haunting shrill of the Bard Owl of in a distant Willow tree. These remarkable sights and sounds of
nature add so much to the "magic" of the moments, and I am grateful just to bear witness each and every time.
Of course the other sights and sounds of a New England summer season is the music. So much to see and to
hear and so little time and resourse to take it all in. So naturally I have to limit myself to the concerts and shows that
will fit tightly into my budget. Most times I over extend myself a bit, and this summer is no exception. But the memories
of past music exhibitions pushes me on. This years line-up of performers and shows that I will don will be as diverse and
and dynamic as any other year prior. Shawn Colvin, Jackson Browne, Iris DeMent, The Los Lonely Boys, Martin Sexton are
just a few of the acts on the docket for me this summer. And of course my usual pilgramage to the Newport Folk and Jazz
Festvals to round out an active musical summer season. Oh how I love SUMMER!!!
Gary and I continue to work diligently on the music that will don the cd. We are eager to finish
but guarded as to an exact date. The mixing down process is ultra time consuming as every single little musical detail is
addressed. We know that we are close to being finished, so hang in there gang. Sometime this summer should eventually
and finally see a finished and packaged product. I promise that we are working hard to that end.
I am also working on getting our music heard by the promoters of the Newport Folk Festival. It has always been a
longtime dream and goal of mine to play this most storied of venues. For me it is the Mecca of Americana Music and
for singer/songwriters everywhere a great and honored privilage to be invited to perform there. Obviously, I will keep you
all informed as to how this all plays out. I haven't scheduled any live performances due to my desire to finish the cd project.
As soon as I have a finished cd in my hand, I will begin the promotion phase by performing more live events. The Bulls Bridge
Inn is most likely to be the beginning venue for this long anticipated endevor.

Well
all of my brothers and sisters, continue your youthful pursuits of small venue music events, and let the rhythms
of the summer nights fill your hearts and minds
and souls. My prayers are for all of you, always. Peace to the world,
and safety for our soldiers. Love Always!!
