FREE SHOW AT TUPELOS MUSIC HALL in Londonderry, NH. We will be streaming video live to boot. Even though it's free, reservations are needed. Help me prove that I can "sell out" this wonderful room.....for heaven's sake the price is right!! They seat 260 souls - If 26 people per day were to reserve free seats, why by Saturday of next week we'd be...

News:

Last Saturday's Fox Run show was a 2-nite-before-show sellout, Cary Cooper was stupendous as an opener, and I had laryngitis. I did my whole set an octave down from where I usually do it - for those who are shrugging at the musical parlance - I did everything low and growly, whispery, Tom Waits and Barry White do "Goodbye Pluto", Leonard Cohen and Isaac Hayes teamed up for "Unfamiliar Moon", etc.

Resounding success. Just goes to show that it is about the songs. Thanks to everyone involved in what was a transformative night of "song re-construction" for me.

Speaking of it being about the songs, the new songs have people raving:

~ Holiday Employment - Ellis Paul is considering it for his Christmas album
~ Garden In Winter - a first-hear hit, requested to be repeated at the recent Great River Folk Festival
~ Time For Me To Fly - an answer to Patty Griffin's "Let Him Fly", from the guy's point of view - her tune, my lyrics
~ December 3rd - a big, big lyric - should have music by then

I keep at it. You should too. Strive for Peace, that's what you do.....
