I guess we could all cry in our beer and spend a just little more time finding all of the little sad or bad points that made up all of our '08. I can't and won't…and frankly had a great year. For those of you, who know me more than casually; know that I'm always working. Let this past year be no exception. March '08 saw the launch of my music page. I was overwhelmed with the great response to my new music. I heard from so many in my past who reminded me of good times and told stories. Last year, I made a mountain of new friends; some young, some old. Every size, shape, color, and creed, requested or added me and continue to stop with regularity to say hi, and share a little bit of their lives. Know that every day, you make my day and I thank you for using your precious time to listen and visit. And my thanks always to those who chose to download my music. You make keep the wheels to my projects turning.

 I'm really excited about this New Year, 2009! Keep an eye open for a new tune in March and more throughout the year. New photos are in the works (fingers crossed) by a truly great photographer.  I'll let you know as soon as I get it nailed down and give you more information. It's time for a new page and that's also rolling down the assembly line. Last but not least, for those in Midwest, I'm going to try to put some dates together before fall. Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Erie, Buffalo all come to mind, but we'll have to see what it looks like in the end. I can't wait to see old friends and meet the new ones.

I guess I'd better get to work!

Happy New Year!
