a whirlwind weekend...

I spent the past 72 hours getting to meet a lot of great families while playing and singing Christmas music. It was a blast. I had an opportunity to "open up" for the play "Clara and the Nutcracker." I am really proud of the local community for supporting the theater even in these uncertain times and selling out each and every show. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of new families this upcoming weekend.

I also got to play a Christmas show at Crossroads. I am blessed to be surrounded by so many great families.

If you like the music, please let me know. I'm working on putting together a "Do It Yourself" live CD, as well as recording my first studio CD.

I am so excited to be playing at the Blue Manatee tonight...
One of my favorite author/illustrators is going to be there, reading from his new book, "The Little Drummer Boy". I just finished writing a song that I'm really excited about that's inspired by this great sure to be classic.

I start playing at 6...hope to see you there.
