Recently got back from a week in Austin Texas. I had the great pleasure of seeing Bob Schneider live at the Saxon Pub. Bob is the man. Amazing songwriter, amazing performer, and killer band. www.bobschneidermusic.com. Sixth street is sadly dying - overrun with commercial tourist traps. Do yourself a favor and seek out the Saxon, The Cactus Cafe, or Antone's.

Played Friday night with The Minor Profits at a great venue in Goshen called The Constant Spring. The event was a fundraiser for the Millrace Farmers Market. We were the last group and went on at 1:00 AM! Still a decent crowd and we had a great time. Though there were a few sound issues early, we made it through it and had a fun early morning. Played Saturday at The Electric Brew - my favorite coffee shop of all time. Solo piano and vocal show. Had a light crowd, but a nice, attentive and friendly one. I gave away some CDs, personalized for the show, and had a chance to blow through some new songs. Then Sunday I recorded one of the new ones, "Catch Me On The Rise", which I hope to have posted in the next day or so. Thanks to all of you for your support. It means the world to me.

Last night was worship team rehearsal for our church. We have an "all worship" Sunday this week, so lots and lots of music. I am so thankful for the opportunity to play with so many wonderful musicians. I learn from everyone I play with. I still wonder why I've been given the talents and gifts I have, but I am thankful for them - every day!

We had a Minor Profits rehearsal last night. Stuff is sounding so good. We have two shows coming up in early November and are getting ready for them. It is really fun playing these songs with different arrangments and trying new things.
