“How I Came To Cry These Tears Of Cool” has been picked up by Burnside Distribution so there are even more ways to purchase this majestic piece of work. We also began recording at Haywire Studios in Portland recently. We laid down 16 tracks in 6 hours tentatively called…..oh I better not say. Of course those 16 tracks will be revisited I am sure. I also recorded eight more solo for a total of, oh you do the math, I’m an english guy.

Hopefully I can crank out a few more this week if I can get a little peace and quiet around this joint. It has been a fantastic summer so far, full of automobile malfunctions, quick repair, small towns, big characters, lots of yucks, lots of good times.

Thanks to the 12 tribes for letting me on the bus and giving me that cookie. It was pretty incredible.

Thanks to the drunk hairdresser at Whistlin’ Jacks, I will try to learn some Ricky Martin for the next time around.

Thanks to Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Jazzbones and the Farmers Market in the rain with the wonderful 80 year old that stood and watched in the pouring rain. Confidential to SK, stay off that junk can’t you see you’re breaking your mothers heart.

Thanks to Aaron and the Twisp River Pub. Stop by in the Methow Valley. It is beautiful and the beer is amongst the best I’ve had and I am an alcoh, er….connoisseur.
Thanks to the Pirates of Ilwaco, the great people of the Astoria and the outlying regions. You know who you are. (Except for that one waitress, what the hell did I do to you? I never met you before in my life, you’re kind of jerk. You’re a jercules and that means you are harnessing the power of ten thousand jerks).

And always thanks to Corvallis, Seattle, Portland, and Yakima you are the golden triangle with and extra stop of my existence.

And of course thanks to Lonesome Dewey, “Hell, Might As Well” Denell, Dr. Hess and his Evil Keys….and the mighty Kwab for filling in at Folklife…..and everyone else!

Look at the calendar, come to a show
