Setting up some more work with Kevin Ryan (he is truly the bomb). We are looking at one of Craig Byrnes' (www.takemusicfurther.com) songs.

Also worked with Donnie Vondra on our second song that we have written together, "How We Are". Donnie and I are going to work on one song a week as an excercise. So far, we are batting .500(!)

Last weekend while visiting my friend, Andrew Amelang, we jammed with his (huge) musical family. I played mandolin for about an hour. I walked away with a new respect for mando players and really sore fingers. I do love the sound of the instrument, though. Would tuning it in fourths be cheating? Probably wouldn't sound the same.
