Back from Music City!

Just got back from 5 wonderful days in Nashville. We went back into the studio and re-recorded 17 songs from the first cd, So This Is Love. Bucky and I worked hard and I am very pleased to say, I am very happy with the results. Bucky has about 1 month of mixing to do on this and we will be ready to re-issue the very first cd of 5 years ago. We discovered, in the studio that we recorded some of these same songs 5 years to the day ago! Kinda strange.
Couple of great memorable highlights of the trip: Friday night had the pleasure of seeing Raul Malo perform in a small bar called 3rd and Lindsley. Had the chance to chat with him after the show. Incredible voice and super nice guy.
Spent an afternoon with the infamous Scotty Moore. Visiting him at the same time was Billy Swan. Remember "I Can Help" from '73. One and the same. Nicest man! Don Dean, Merle Haggard's lead guitar player joined us and amazed us with a few of his own licks. Of course Bucky Barrett was with us. Stories were flying. It is a surreal experience to think of these guys all sitting around a table and the lives they have touched with their music.
We are racing to get the cd out before the holiday season. We'll do our best. Check out the new pic added to the site. You'll see the "boys" hanging out!
