Two nights of debuting the new album's song in Winston-Salem and Carrboro in front of friends and fellow musicians has left me in a heightened sense of exhiliration and an overall feeling that my new songs are being welcomed with open minds. Thanks, I love you all.

I'm delighted and amazed at the lovely comments about The Face of 68. Everyone who's snagged a copy and played it has such nice things to say about it.

We had our first rehearsal yesterday, and I believe you'll be ecstatic about how these songs sound live. See you Thursday and Friday!
