Hurricanes and Guitars

Before I get to the part about music, I found this intellegent post about the current hurricane's path and it's obvious part in the Republican party's plans to kill off minorities and win elections. Good stuff.

Anyway, next Saturday I am playing guitar with my wife at a show in Fort Worth. It's fun to learn new songs (her new ones are great) but I can't help feeling nervous. I used to play in front of people all the time and it never bothered me, but these days I get scared just thinking about it. And sometimes people request that I sing. (Poor fools.)

It worries me and I made a lot of mistakes at our last show, but maybe I will get back into the swing of it.

Speaking of swing, I listen to a station that plays Jazz when I drive home (Jazz stations are impossible to find) and apparently they need money. So, any of you wanting to support a small Jazz station, they are taking pledges.

Check out my wife (I do)

My wife just revamped her webpage. It's cool and it shows you the upcoming events where you can see her/us perform.

You should also sign up for the newsletter because it's not something that will be in your inbox often, it's a rare reminder of upcoming shows, not one of those annoying things that just adds more junk to your already annoying daily emails. No, this is much different.

Most importantly, we are working on new material which you will see at some upcoming shows. Right now, we are proud of a new song called 'Girl on a String' which you can hear us perform at our shows. It's really my favorite song we do and I always look forward to it as we go through our set.

Here's my wife at a show a few years ago:



And here's me and some cool guys trying to bring Jazz to our whitebread campus back in the day...
