Thanks to all who showed up for my debut there on Saturday and made it a great night! I'm very excited to report that we have booked shows there on a monthly basis through September. Check back soon for the specific dates and information regarding the added shows at The Steaming Cup! If you happened to miss the show or couldn't make it, I have posted 4 new videos. They can be found in the MUSIC ~ VIDEO section to your right under VIDEO - The Steaming Cup.

Well, I finally got some video up on the website - although it’s new "old" video from 2000. I was scavenging through a bunch of old media on my computer and voila! These popped up. So I figured, what the heck, I'll put 'em up. They can be found in the newly labeled - MUSIC ~ VIDEO section. There are also a few pictures from those days that I've posted in the PHOTOS section as well FYI - there's nothing wrong with YouTube (the player and host-site that you watch the videos through), but yes, the quality…

Hey there - I've got a few gigs coming up in the next couple of months I want to tell you about - so hope fully you'll spread the word and get a bunch of people out to Waukesha First of all - it's at a place called "The Steaming Cup," right in the heart of downtown Waukesha. There is a MapQuest map and directions on the CALENDAR page, as well as the particulars - I play 6:30 - 9:00 PM. I have been there and it is a wonderful place for meeting up with some friends for coffee (they have a VAST array)…

I had the priviledge of attending an Al Franken lecture and book signing recently and while he's much too big of a star to chat and pose for a photo op with all of us ;) we were able to get our book signed! You can check out a couple of pictures I took in the PHOTOS section to your right ---->

Updates!! These have been up for a little while, but I have some pictures I took from the Indigo Girls concert I attended earlier this month - click on the PHOTOS link to your right. Also, while I haven't actually completed a personal "bio" per say, I have updated the MANIFESTO (aka Biography) page with a Q & A session referencing actual questions or comments people have asked me or made to me over the many years. I have also added a link (in the LINKS section) to a cool European independent music site…

I've added some brand new pictures of my annual gig for the campers in Wautoma, WI - where we have our yearly Labor Day weekend gathering. And yes, it was VERY hot !! (No air conditioning in these buildings.)

Hi all - Well, I got to catch up with my slide guitar idol, Sonny Landreth, who played this year at Milwaukee's Bastille Days. You can see some brand new photos I took (some pretty cool artistic looking ones for that matter), along with the 3rd installment of the "Mia & Sonny" photo collection (you knew I'd meet him again and get a new picture) !! :) Just click on the "PHOTOS" link to your right - enjoy!

First off - I want to thank those of you who have expressed your condolences to me via e-mail or cards regarding the recent passing of my Mom in April who fought a relatively short, but courageous battle with lung cancer. I was truly and sincerely touched, and they were much appreciated. Now - on to brighter news…. I recently had the pleasure of seeing Mary Chapin Carpenter at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee (3rd row center orchestra pit no less), so of course you know I have pictures (they were…

Hey there - check out the LINKS section where you can click on to mp3 Tunes.com - http://www.mp3tunes.com/album_details.php?album_id=25712 where you can legally download the entire CD, "Somewhere In Between" or individual songs at .88 cents a piece!

Aloha I recently returned from a trip to Jamaica (yes, I literally got to "Go South") - obviously it was FANTASTIC! So the news is that I've included a bunch of photos from my trip in the PHOTOS section, titled "Jamaica Vacation" (I know, very clever…) I went with a group of friends, Charlie, Matt, Tim and his wife Christine, so you'll see a lot of pictures of those people. We also met some other people at our resort along the way like Carol and Gene from St. Louis, who accompanied Charlie and me on…
