I just wanted to give you a heads up on how last Saturdays L-Cove show went and then share some reading material that should inspire you, maybe put a few dollars in your pocket and put a smile on your face. Here goes.

You Guys Rock!

Wow! What a great time last Saturday night. I am so glad many of you came out to check out the show. Thank you all!

I did record some of the evenings music and am hoping to get some good material to use on my CD. The night will be etched in stone.

Also, other than the music, there were some great crowd moments that should pop up on the CD in some way. Ray Roberts in particular stands out. He does the coolest “YEAH BABY” and I will be looking for a good place to put it.

I can’t wait to party with you guys again!

The Million Dollar Suitcase

The next thing I wanted to share with you is an ebook I read awhile ago. It was written by a man named Karl Warren. I don’t know how he is and I am not even sure how I ended up with the book but it is an inspiring read – especially if you are looking to accomplish something or make a change in your life.

It is not very long at all and it shouldn’t take more than a half hour or so to read. Check it out and share your thoughts below.

I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I’ve been trying for sometime now to come up with one sentence – as short as possible – that describes my music to someone who’s never heard it but I’m not getting anywhere.

I was wondering if you had any ideas. In the comments below, tell me how would you describe my music style to someone else? Something unique that would peak their interest and make them very curious.

Was your Labor Day weekend as good as mine? Not only was the weather perfect, but I played a lot of music, met some good people and had a chance to spend some quality time with friends and family.

In the playing department, I played until my fingers bled last weekend – ok they didn’t bleed but it sounds better than “until they were sore” and it wasn’t a bad way to reference an old eighties tune (do you know the one I’m talking about?). Anyway, Friday night at Money Creek Haven I sat and played around the campfire for some close friends, Saturday night I debuted my new PA system for some company we had over and then Sunday with a 3 hour stint at Twin Bluffs Tavern.

While playing at Twin Bluffs, I had some great experiences. One experience in particular reinforced how lucky I am to finally realize what the hell it was I was put on this earth to do – write and play music to connect with good people. I met a middle aged couple – his name is Jim and and hers is Barbara. After I was done playing I went over to thank them for signing up for my newsletter and discovering that they really connected with my songs (which is an amazing feeling). I discovered that they were two very positive people with a very cool story. Read the rest of this entry

Just wanted you to know that Doc and I will be playing at Twin Bluff’s Tavern tomorrow from 4-7. If it is nice – which I hear it will be – we will be outside on the deck.

After we are done there will be a rock band by the name of Falling Upstairs playing in the bar (never heard of them but the owner says they are good).

Anyway, if you are looking for something to do, come on out and play some horseshoes, sand volleyball or just chill with us. Hope to see you there!
