It has been a long time since I updated this I know, but those on the mailing list know that I have been playing a lot of shows and bouncing around too much to sit in front of this soul sucking box for too long.

With the help of Billy “Lonesome Dewey” Miller on upright bass and “What the Hell” Denell Fahy on accordian we have formed a collective rock and roll operation called the Modern Conveniences.  We have been playing in around Portland for a couple months now.  I consistently continue doing solo shows and have been writing more new material than I can sometimes keep up with. 

I hope to start recording again to document the new material before it loses its freshness depending on my economical viability in the current market place that is my empty pockets. 

I was recently added to Northwest Folklife.  I am playing on May 28th at 11:00 AM on the Fountain Lawn with the Sangster Brothers and Kwab Copeland.  Also look for the Modern Conveniences at the Fremont Fair wedged (ha ha!) somewhere near the nude bicycle riders.

You probably noticed the new videos on the home page.  If not go back and watch Lonesome Dewey and I as we open for John Doe in Seattle.  I should have a myspace video up shortly too.

Also I got a nice review on All Music from John D. Luerssen the author of a recent biography of the band Weezer that has received much acclaim! Thanks John!

Check the schedule, come to a show and say hello.  HELLO!
