Well, 2011 has turned into a very interesting year. There has been very little going on in clubs so far. My live shows are few and that makes me sad, but I have been busy recording on a number of projects. Greg Vail new music, Dean Grech, Hans Z, Tony Guerrero, Jay Sterling, Hal Ratliff have been the recent calls. Recording from home and sending files is a strange concept that I am going to have to get used to!

The writing gig is going well so far. I still have a couple of articles to knock off for Wood Wind and Brass Wind for this month but I am glad to have the work. The web sites have been neglected and socials have been about every other day for me.

Plugging on and forward! When things get slow there are only 2 options. Deal with it by being depressed or get even more active and make something happen. I am buried! I am so far behind I can't stand it. I do pray that there is a pay off to the activity soon!

Hope you all are surviving in our new world economy! Music is still an amazing way to escape and enjoy! Get online and check out some new tracks today! I have a ton of videos on You Tube and all over online, and sound clips and tracks to hear too. Greg Vail dotcom is alive and well. GO poke around a bit and see what ya find!
