I do write in my private journal just about every day. These written books go back at least fifty years. I still haven’t decided whether to burn them or use them to write my memoirs or just let the kids dig through them after I’m gone. Shana is after me to write the book. She’s right, I should. I’m running out of days.

For now, publicly… I’ve been gone. I have been busy, actually. Too busy to write about all of the wonderful things I’ve been doing. LOTS of projects, both artistic, musical, and FAMILY. The big change in my life is the intense desire to enjoy these wonderful moments… and not to worry about much else. Hence, not a lot of writing about the moments I am enjoying. BUT, I also feel the need to let you all know that I am OK. And that I miss playing and seeing you.

As I approach my 60th year in the business, I realize that it wasn’t a business at all. It was an adventure. One that I shared with many, many wonderful people.

I am still buried in the work. I am still playing, recording, writing, and doing art. Mostly though, I’m a grandfather. A proud father, and an incredibly happy husband. We live on a private lake, in a wildlife habitat in the woods. The gardens and the beach are inviting. It’s hard to leave… But, leave I must from time to time, because I miss you so much. I look forward to every adventure. And the adventures are going to come… finally.

I’ve got some gigs coming: August 15th a solo set in front of the Ripcords on their 20th Anniversary Concert. And then a major appearance on the Chevy Court Stage with Beatlecuse.

Stay tuned and stay in touch. I will do my best at updating you on some of the fun things I have been working on.
