Back from Vacation and ready to Latin Rock and acoustic jazz. I am really looking forward to jumping into some simple compilations of songs. Simple is as simple does. I feel it in my bones.

We also have to jump on the Casey Garland project if he can lay down the hammer long enough. Get that River Music out there!

Music is the means we share each other's souls. Many new opportunities are arising as each day passes. I was impressed by Mark Dodge's studio on Camano Island and hope to co-produce music together in the near future. What a talented man he is.

Andie has embarked on a new business as a distributor a product called Juice Plus + , an all natural whole food based supplement. It comes from the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables. She has both of us taking it. She also has Faith on it. I can really feel a difference. It has taken about three weeks but I am sleeping through the night and that is an adventure in itself. I haven't been able to do that for many years now. She will have a web site to promote her new venture shortly. I give it a hearty two thumbs up. For more information or to order juice plus send her an e-mail.

The Freedom Tribe continues to make wonderful music. I love the mix on Live In Ashland. Check them out and watch for tour dates.

We have ordered a new copy of Nuendo as the one that I had walked away to Rob. A studio is like a boat in many ways. It hooks deeply into your wallet to stay a float. It is good to be working with Mike Daily who is a great musician and a fine human being.
I want to go to work on an acoustic CD. I have a lot of ideas but it will be very simple production and involve vocals, guitar and piano. We may add some simple strings. I hope Josh might play a little guitar and that will be about it. Of course, as soon as Andie has the cover done, I will start production on the music.

Bill Spies is making music at Silent T and we have spoken to Katy Gustafson about arranging and singing some harmonies and possibly playing some string parts. I met Katy and her husband, Brent, at Cafe de Paris. I had just been saying to Bill that we need something different to move this CD forward. All you have to do is ask, right? This is a new ray of sunshine on Bill's goal to share his music..

Acoustic CD We are working on tightening up several new songs for an acoustic CD. I am hoping to get Josh, Freedom and Rob to do some playing on a collection of classic and new ballads. We have played a few of the songs together on those late night jam sessions. I love the new tunes and yet there are some songs that are like cherished old friends that grow closer to one's heart with time.
