Facebook, Pinterest, and now I’ve fallen into a new time-stealing rabbit hole called instagram. Or statigram. However you call it, there’s some amazing work here. One of my favorites — and probably the original rabbit who’s work lured me down here in the first place — is ohfajar. His “A Vision”, below. My stuff here

It doesn’t have a name yet. Here are a couple shots of me and Sally, the studio cat.

Glitter on canvas. Reverting back to kindergarten days. Oddly, this is how I’m choosing to spend my “free” time lately.

…at the Whip-in. One late Jan, with Geno & Jorge and the other last week with Jana, Katie & Elizabeth Wills. Aside from total voice loss to sinus infection on the latter, good times.

This was a little bit of a dream project for me because I got to do the photography *and* the design. We did the photos out in Elgin on a warm spring afternoon and from there the design evolved as Geno finished recording, mixing and mastering this great record — and his first solo effort, From the Hip. And it just so happens the record release is tomorrow – and it’ll be BOTH of our birthdays. Details are:

CD RELEASE for the new EP: “From The Hip”
All new band and b-day celebration!

Come on!

Played a gig last saturday at the Pecan Street Brewery in Johnson City with Penny Ney (who set up the night), Jana — and very special guests, katie & heather. Making music with these ladies makes me very very happy.

In case you’re wondering, Johnson City during the holidays is all lit up and lovely — and next time i head that direction i’m going early so i can spend some time exploring this tiny texas town.

Photo above is Heather sitting in for a tune.

Set was:
Taking the Sun
Blueberry
Clear Conscience
Flowers
Ain’t no sun
Cherry lips
Amnesty
Set up Song
Just Because
