Patchouli Room is close to completion! Lesson learned ...the more people involved the more time and money it takes. But I'm thrilled with the results. Some really sweet songs came out of the extra time it took in recording. Now for the cover...Come on Johnny!
Aurora is off to Ithaca for college..gonna have to visit her often. I love Ithaca.
The trio has a gig on the 7th at Michaels in Waterville. Great food here really...great food. Ta La

I'll be working with David Hollis of the Radio Free Hamilton website in taping my song "Our Sweet Hovels" named the NYRI anthem in the Syrcacuse Post Standard. Sunday July 30 edition by Glen Coin and Alaina Putrickus.
The taping will be at the Barge Canal Coffee House in Hamilton August 4th at 11:00 am.

I've had the pleasure of mentoring two VERY talented musicians. Ellen Fagan and Lauren Mettler. Not only do they sing and harmonize like angels they are good acoustic guitar players and songwriters as well...and very young with hopefully a wonderful music career ahead of them! They are taking my Taylor and Ovatrion and hitting the stage at 1pm today in the Hamilton Park.
Then I'm off to Raquette Lake for another WW Durrant moonlight cruise. Boat boards at 9:30. Had a great time last week on this beautiful lake I once boated and swam in my childhood.
Sunday its another Woman's Right To Rock in Senaca Falls where I'll meet up with the trio for a set of Swan Songs.
Our timeslot there is 3pm..
Saturday the 22nd I'll be doing the sound for the NYRI in Gaines Park in Sherburne and playing music with Ellen and Lauren aka A Couple Mistakes.
and hopefully Laurie Fagan on recorder backing me on my song "Our Sweet Hovels" that I wrote in protest to the NYRI powerlines.
Please come and show your support.

The mother of parties is over..my daughters graduation. She's off to Ithaca in the fall!
The trio is primed and ready for some relaxing fun summer gigs!
Patchouli Room is still in the works..yes... good things do take time...

Since returning from escaping Katrina in New Orleans, I now see Central New York with all its small towns whether quaint or ragged and forgotten, with its open story book shaped hills, its peaceful farms and four seasons with new eyes. I truly live in a beautiful magical place. And now the threat of a monster powerline running through sickens me.
I had the chance just recently to see a panaorama shot taken over the rooftops of my home town of Sherburne with the powerline super imposed to get an idea of the monstrosity of it and could find no words.
It would destroy the small town charm and everything in its path that we central New Yorkers hold dear! We need to come together and not be bullied!
Please click on links to link to the NYRI site for more info in stopping this monster from plagueing the land of our homes.
Thank You
