I think the spring and summer of 2009 has been way too short, (at least on the sunny weather side of things…) but that’s a common complaint. Postings have been way too few as well, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been music…at our house and all across the country…so if you haven’t checked the … Continue reading

And if you happened to catch his show … Continue reading
