JULY 2009 - Hello again. I’m awaiting the arrival of my new CD “This And That”. I should have it this week, but definitely by the July 26th Leu Gardens concert.

My public gigs this month are:

I’ll be performing at The Maitland Farmers Market on July 5th from 10:00am to 1:00pm. The market is located at Lake Lily.

I’ll be at the Attic Door, 28 W Plant Street in Winter Garden on Friday, July 10th , 8:00pm to 11:00pm and Wednesday, July 29th, 7:00 to 10:00pm.  www.myspace.com/jrsatticdoor

JUNE 2009 - Bonjour. Thought I’d say hello in French. That’s about the extent of my French vocabulary. I’d love to spend a long period of time in France. Someday I will.  READ MORE

 


MAY 2009 - Hello again. I’ve been busy working in the studio. I recently produced two songs for a very talented performer/songwriter Carolyn Nicely. This gal is GOOD!! You can hear the songs “I Never Would” and “Change” at www.myspace.com/carolynnicely READ MORE


APRIL 2009 - Wow!! April is here. Sort of caught me by surprise. March came and went too quickly. It was a busy month for me. So let’s see. What fun thing is April known for, besides April Fool’s Day, and where did that all start? READ MORE


MARCH 2009 - March is here. Soon this very Florida “cold” winter will be warmed by spring - I mean summer. I grew up in Maryland and experienced four distinct season. Spring was my favorite. Here in Florida, we go from a mild winter to a very long hot summer. No spring.  We are overlooked by this beautiful season. Still I prefer the Florida climate over some of the places I’ve lived.

FEBRUARY 2009 - Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovers.  I’m working on a new CD, which I plan to have finished by the summer. The completed songs are available now as digital downloads on Snocap on the download page. READ MORE


JANUARY 2009 - Happy New Year to you.  Much has been said about the significance of the new year, so I won’t add to that.  However with the arrival of each year, I find I need to pay close attention to the date I write on my checks. It usually takes me a few weeks to recondition my auto pilot date scribble for the new year.  So, is that what I think about all the fuss over the new year???  Maybe so. READ MORE


DECEMBER 2008 - Thanksgiving was wonderful. Got together with family. Ate and talked and ate and ate. I’m paying for it today. Feels like I have a lead weight in my stomach.  My Christmas CD “SIX STRING CHRISTMAS” is available again. This year if you buy it directly from me, I’ll sign it and write any short greeting. Check it out on my main page.  READ MORE


NOVEMBER 2008 - October came, and quickly went along with Halloween. November is here now and soon we’ll be eating turkey. The long Florida summer is over and now it’s unseasonably cold. Got an Email from an English friend of mine who lives near London. Usually not much snow falls there in the winter, yet it snowed a few days ago. Maybe we’re all in for a cold winter. I prefer the summers. I’m up in my music room now. It’s about 7:30am and cold. I’ve got an electric heater on full blast.  READ MORE


OCTOBER 2008 - I’m back from the UK. Always enjoy my time there. This year it was a bit cold and rained often, but still had a great time playing gigs and seeing friends.  So now October has arrived and with it comes a slight change in the Florida weather bringing cooler nights. We also have Halloween to look forward to.  READ MORE


SEPTEMBER 2008 -This will be short and sweet.  On Wednesday, September 24th, I’ll be at the Vineyard from 7:00 to 10:00pm.  Located at 4848 Apopka Vineland Rd,  the Vineyard is an intimate, upscale wine bar. It’s a great place to hang with friends, have a drink and listen to live music.  READ MORE


AUGUST 2008 - Hope you all are enjoying the summer. For me, the summer has been a time to commit myself to getting healthy, eating good and all that. I’ve been enjoying playing music and kicking back when I can. READ MORE
