Wow, lots of big things to tell! Just can't remember them right at this moment. Okay, truthfully a retake of the flu set me back bad since my last post. Still having post-illness effects, but getting back on track finally. Feeling well enough to get excited about tracking again.

I don't gig these days, or even in any of the last years. Two reasons. A book that explains one of them is in the works, but the short version of that is, I lost my voice from long term mold exposure. And second, paying venues generally want cover bands or artists, and I completely quit doing covers at all in the 80s.

But the lack of regularly performing leaves stiff fingers for keys, guitars, and bass. They have to be worked out as does the voice. And vocal training is tough with the cold, and sinus infection residuals. However, it's all coming along. Two other jobs also get an equal share of time. One, the book mentioned, and I'm producing an album for another artist.

I also spend at least an hour or more a day helping other people as best I can in non-music related issues, sort of a personal social cause thing. Hard, cause I can get very engrossed and impassioned in something, and it's tough to stick to the self made time management rules. Plus I cook, clean, pay bills, do all the shopping, and all that routine household stuff like everybody else who doesn't yet have cleaning services and personal assistants. Someday I hope.

If you check back later, I'll try to have a cue mix of the first '30 years' track. Anxious to hear some response on this new "old" stuff. Until soon!
