Hello on this rainy Friday morning. It looks as if "Railroad Avenue" is finally launched, in spite of everything. The interview aired last night on WBHM's "Tapestry". (The title song is their MySpace profile song at the moment...cool). "Left Turn at Albuqurque", an instrumental piece from the album, was their end theme last night as well. (Thanks, Tanya, Michael, and Greg.) I was thinking about selling the Ibanez hollow-body electric I played that tune on, but now that I've heard how it sounds on the radio, I don't think I can bear to part with it. The title comes from the old Warner Brothers cartoons...a recurring punch line delivered whenever Bugs Bunny ends up lost in some out of the way place...the Himalayas, a haunted castle, the Gobi Desert, etc..." I knew I shoulda taken dat left toyn at..." you know the rest. My dream job in the music business would have been to write scores for those old cartoons. This tune is what one of those scores might have sounded like (also witness "A Squirrel in Cincinnati" from my last CD).

Cover art should be ready to pick up today, so I'll have some copies to intro at the Frank Brown International Songwriter's Festival next week. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the final product. I learn a little more about recording technique every time I do this. Love the way the White Falcon sounds! The powerhouse background vocal duo of Kristy White and Kim Dometrovich...soulful pedal steel by David Wetzel...Maury Levine's understated and flawlessly executed drumming...Thanks and well done one and all!

I'm trying to put together a CD release concert/event in the near future...I'll let you know how that progresses. I'm taking pre-orders for the CD on my website

Available soon at cdbaby.com and Renaissance Records in Birmingham.
Enjoy!

All the Best,
Ron
