Well, things are changing a lot for me lately. My wife Raquel is due any day now with son #2 and I'm working again -full time. I'm also passing the torch as electric guitarist to another passionate lead player, Russ. Damn Russ, forgot your last name! D'oh! Anyway, I loved playing with the guys in Red River Soul. Each one of them uniquely talented and overall great musicians. We had 100s of great shows and countless sick jams, but as I turned 36 this past week I feel that I was no longer able to play rock star. As I said before, I loved jamming out, but RRS wants to go for it. I'm too old and have too many dependants now to hop in a van and live away from home. I wish Kent, Nate, Jim and Russ all the best in the future and I look forward to working with them again, especially on stage!

I've been dreaming about starting a new jam band. A newer style jam-band or at least a modern sounding one. If only I could get up the balls to sing!  I was thinking of basing this original band's covers all around Beatles songs done in the band's own style and mixing up the originals in the set list. We'll see........

There are a bunch of people I'm jamming with, and I'm still gonna be playing with RRS at the 3/17 CD release party! One of the bands I'm jamming with is Corkscrew. They play some Modern Indie style Rock with a healthy dose of jams, old and new covers too. They are playing tonight and tomorrow at The Webster Theater. I wouldn't mind playing there again, but I'm stuck home for the  "potential water breaking window"! Torrow I hope to be jamming with a bunch of guys I haven't met before. Well, I do know the bass player Brian. He is part of the team helping me form the band I was talking about.

So there we are. My life is totally different from only a few months ago. All the change is exciting, and while the thought of a new baby is scary, it is the most exciting part!!
