After a summer full of travel and solo bass shows, I took a few months off to catch up on my personal life. I was able to hang out with Cindy and help her with a few of her awesome photography shows. Did a ton of work on the Blue Dream. Traveled to see some friends tie the knot. Read a lot of animal behavior books and watched some fun films. I learned even more luthiery skills. Best of all, I painted our bathroom.

Well, I'm getting geared back up to get back out and play. This Friday, I'll be doing an instrumental set at Studioplex's Fourth Friday Artwalk (http://studioplexlofts.com/art_walk.php). My sets will be sans singing since I'll mainly be the backdrop for some awesome sculpture, painting, and photography. Older tunes will be resurrected and newer tunes will be auditioned. I'm certain I'll have moments of musical splendor countered by huge sonic belly flops (dude, that'd be a great band name!). If you feel you've been lacking in the cultural side of life lately, this Friday is your chance to connect with the visual arts and music. Don't miss it!

Also this January, I'll be trekking out west again, so my feelers are unspooled to find gigs in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. I'm open for listening rooms, coffee houses, happenin' bars, and house concerts. Shared shows are also welcome as I'm always willing to do the gig swap thing for folks trying to get into Atlanta. Please drop me a line even if it's only to suggest a place to play!

Thanks for reading and see you out there!
