Dateline 2009:

    Greetings. Lots o'stuff. Freedomsong2 went quite well, in spite of a freak October snowstorm. Geesh. Still we made more money for Veterans Inc. than we did at last year's Freedomsong fundraiser. Doctor Robert, Big Dawg, Shakey Steve and the Blue Cats, plus Brett and Lisa Brumby filled the stage with first class music. Check out the official website here.
    Let me see........Don't forget about my CD's. 2003's Moment of Truth, 2007's Blueprints of Ruins, and 2008's 12 Bars tonight. And then there is the Hothouse CD's. 2002's Melting Pot, 2005's Pocket Change, and 2007's Choice Cuts. Either contact me through this website, or go to www.cdbaby.com and type in my name. You can purchase my stuff (not Hothouse's) there. I'll be carrying them around to various gigs, too. Oh by the way, I am now working on another one. It should be done by the beginning of 2010.
    Speaking of Hothouse, we had a great time playing at last year's Freedomsong benefit. In the gig dept., Doctor Robert is busier than ever. It seems like classic rock is the way to go. Doc Rob has been together now for , ummm, let's see..... yikes, 7 years. Anyway, we STILL have not had an argument amongst the band menbers. A true democracy.
    Oh. A few more things...... Anytown USA, the musical, could be worked on this year. '08 was so preoccupied with organizing (and worrying about) Freedomsong, that the musical became the 'forgotten' project. I'll try to change that. Then there is the Sunday blues jam at Greendales, which is really happening. Right place, right time. Big crowds have been streaming in every week. Some of our fantastic features have been George McCann, Shakey Steve, Chet Williamson, Lisa Marie......well, you get the idea.
   One more thing: The Silverbacks will continue to play. Like Cliff Goodwin said, doing gigs with the SB's is like 'going to the well'. It really reminds us of where it all came from.
