I also had a lovely conversation with a new friend (Chicago vocalist Andrea Love) who has done a lot of House track vocals and gave me some sound advice. I was feeling a tiny bit anxious over the whole thing cause I didn’t quite know how it all worked. The dance music scene is a [...]

I am performing at a wedding reception tonight. Some of you might thinking: EEUU!, but I am really grateful for the work. Lots of musicians are not working tonight and I am just feeling grateful that I can still pay my guys good money at this time of year. It is officially our slow season [...]

I’ve just uploaded three photo albums on a web gallery. Check them out! I may put all my Amsterdam photos up there as I travel. This gallery will be different than my photo gallery on my web site. These will be photos of my own, shot by me and not necessarily music & performance related! [...]

I never really sat down and made a list of New Year’s resolutions. December 31 came, I had a gig at my beloved Green Dolphin Street and I partied in the New Year like a fucking rock star. I slept most of the day January 1, 2008 with no guilt whatsoever. I got up on [...]

That is what I am looking for! I have embarked upon my search for lodgings in Amsterdam! It is very exciting. At the suggestion of my well traveled cousin (Miss International – this one is) I am seriously considering leasing an apartment versus the typical hotel scenario. I have been systematically surfing the net for [...]
