I have some end of old/beginning of new year news to share and I wanted to send a big thanks some people.

First Barbara Mitchell has been plugging away and “How I Came To Cry These Tears Of Cool” has been given 1/2 by Paste Magazine. It is by the far the largest magazine I have been reviewed in and Performing Songwriter has selected it for inclusion in its 12 best DIY albums next month!

Also Gary Evans author of Music Inspired by Art: A Guide to Recordings (Scarecrow Press) will be including “Sistine Chapel Ceiling” in his second volume. Sounds like an interesting topic, see the link below.

Lynne Robin Greene has been pitching the album to Hollywood, not the district in North Portland, but the one with the palm trees! Her new website is one of the nicest I have seen www.lwbhmusicpublishers.com

Speaking of movies Collin O’Kelley has included the song “November” in his movie “Punk Girl”. It is filmed entirely in Seattle and the song occurs during a love montage, with handholding (another joy I may have again), and sushi feeding. I am thrilled!

Also Dan Craig of Yakima fame will be doing some of my booking having recently declared himself Tumbleweed Entertainment. If you are a band/musician planning a trip to Washington’s east side he may be able to help you out with a show….

Finally Gordon Potter webmaster extraordinaire has set up a fail safe system where by even a knucklehead like myself can update my calendar as dates come in! Check it out. I got some pDctures up too!
