Update

Wow, long time no post! My real job (the one where I actually get paid for writing) has been mighty time-consuming of late, and Spring little-league is upon us, with all that that implies.

Anyway, thought I'd write up a quickie about what little bit we've got going on musically. I'm still trying to squeeze in another date with Jimmy E. to finish up the EP. It's all on me, basically; he's usually Delta -- ready when we are. Performance-wise, Blake Guthrie invited me to join him at 4:00 on Sunday, March 18th at Aurora Coffee in L5P (next to Criminal Records) for an afternoon songwriters gig. I've done a similar show he hosted at Java Monkey, and it was great, so I can't wait.

Also, the big Northwoods Spring Carnival is coming up. This is a fundraiser for my kids' Montessori school, and it's become traditional for me to put together a band to play in the parking lot. It's also traditional for me to wait until the last minute and then throw it together badly! So I'm right on track with that. Matt's already on board to play bass (of course), so I'll probably just scare up a drummer and do it as a three-piece. It's huge fun because we play a lot of covers, which I rarely do at my shows.

Finally, I have a couple of house shows brewing, and I'm talking to Bill at the Redlight about another show there either in April or May, so of course I'll announce on my events page when any of that comes to fruition.

Meantime, watch here for some new downloads. When I get the time, I'll post some more advanced material from the EP, just to prove I'm not making it all up!

Peace,
Patrick
