Happy New Year! (and it has been about a year!!!)

Well, Well, Well...Look who showed back up! ME!
It has been almost a year since I have written anything on this here page and it is a shame; but when you have nothing much to say - the rest is, well, pretty darn near useless.
It's been a little while but that doesn't mean that things have been just sitting still. I play guitar - A LOT - and I have been writing songs on and off....ok, more off than on; but what the hell?
I pick and sing a little with my childhood friend that lives around the corner. He was always great at interpreting other folks' material and he still does it about as good as a person can. So, we get together and hang down in the studio and play blues or rock or 80s pop stuff or Alice Cooper songs or whatever our brains can come up with it. It is fun and is a lot like it was when we both were coming up and trading records and drooling over guitars.
These days we still buy records and I have probably surpassed him in gearhead-dom; but we have fun and that is what counts.
I might post some things soon. I still have the idea for a grass roots effort type of deal for a 3rd record. I haven't forgotten about it since about a year after "South" came out and I was really looking for a new way of doing this crap and getting out to listeners. While CDBaby and i-Tunes seemed really hip back in 2005 when I did the self-titled thing - now it seems like I need a new means of getting it to the masses and once I came up with my little embryo of an idea - I have never let go. We'll see how that goes.
I might be writing again soon and it might take another year....whichever the case may be - I wish you all the best of everything in 2012. I hope you survive whatever you face and that you make it through the maelstrom of election press that the media will throw upon you. In the midst of all of that - enjoy some music, appreciate some art, and enjoy your time spent with those you love. I will do the same and hopefully have another great year!
All the best,
