Thanks for the support!!

Been busy preparing, and working and recording etc. I've been gigging with a few pick up bands locally, and getting ready for some shows this summer with my band. I'll be performing as an opener for the Charlie Daniels Band performance as a featured performer with the Air Force Band of Flight. It's called the "Freedoms Call Tattoo" (Tattoo refers to an airshow in this context). Then I'll be performing at the "Ohio Challenge Balloon Festival" in Middletown, Ohio. Both of these events feature performances of "Keep Old Glory New" my "pop country" style song from the "Wind Over Texas" release, as well as several other songs from the same cd. I've also been producing and submitting songs to publishers for "pitching". But, I don't let them reserve "rights to first release" or exclusively shop them. I stay independent, and release my own music when it's ready. I'll post one of them soon that's kind of fun called "4 by 4 Cupid".

I'm still teaching students, and producing tracks for other artists in my studio.

Recently got a Mesa Boogie Recto Verb 50, which I am really having a blast playing these days. I'm running the Mesa, and my Rivera Clubster in stereo through a TC Electronics G system. I've got a Fulltone Fulldrive for overdrive/distortion plus of course all the variations available with the amps. The Recto Verb is incredibly versatile. I was researching amps for several months and finally came to the realization that the current crop of amps all appear to be attempts to copy what Mesa Boogie does. Multi-mode/multi channel tube amps, (not to say that others aren't doing a fine job in many cases, but..) I checked out half a dozen Mesa Boogies after trying many other amps and bought a Boogie. I don't regret the purchase because I love this amp.

If anyone would have asked me if I needed a Rectifier style amp, I would have said no, because I typically don't play metal, and if I do, I drive the amp with pedals anyway, but this amp does everything from crystal clear clean, reminiscent of a Blackface Fender Tweed, to 'full-shred' metal, and everything inbetween. It sounds great with a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, and my favorite Paul Reed Smith McCarty "hollowbody II" (20th anniversary model). So far I've played two "big Band jazz gigs", two rock band gigs, a country recording session, and a jazz duo gig with this amp, and it worked like a charm in every style.

I'm getting pretty good at this editing thing. Check out my "Interview with Cousinotes" and please comment there. Cheers.

Good for you! Money in the bank is a good thing. My second thought was that you were making room for us so we would have a place to sleep when we come visit.

So, what you're saying is you need to replace some of those guitars you sold. I gotcha! I know that lingo. You think you speak in code, but I've broken the code!
