Now, some excuse making:
I swear to the high heavens that
the new CD is on its way. I have seen the cover and held the Master CD in
my hand. I even remember some of the recording
sessions. The CD Release Party is planned for JULY 19th at THE ACOUSTIC
CAFE in Black Rock, CT. Write that down. Please. Hold me to it.
If there is not a brand new, shiny CD for sale with my name on it, I will
let anyone who cares, throw fruit. (At me, if you would like.) Very good.
Singer/Songwriter Elizabeth Roth has covered my song "Useless" on her new CD Like The David. I really like what Elizabeth has done with it. I hope you check her out at: www.ElizabethRoth.com.

GARDEN COFFEEHOUSE PERFORMING SONGWRITER COMPETITION

The
Rose Garden Coffeehouse
Orthodox Congregational Church
17 West Street
Mansfield, Mass
Doors open at
7:30. Show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets $12
The Headliner for the
night is Canada's
April Vertch,
an amazing fiddle player whom EnRoute Magazine
says:
"April's
strings burn with energy, whether she's playing waltzes, airs, reels, or polkas.
This is the hottest old time music of the year." No matter what you call it,
April's music is beguiling in the way it brilliantly balances contemporary
élan and traditional resonance."
Please come out to see the Song Contest and stay for a great show.
