December is always a whirlwind for me. Holiday shows, the annual Give-back campaign, and my oldest son's birthday. This year, he turned 18! Now that my eldest is officially an adult, we can focus on "the other" holidays this month: Christmas and New Year's Eve! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I was […]

This weekend, I was invited to do a short set for a local non-profit holiday party. So Des and I dusted off the road gear and delighted the ladies with a few Christmas favorites. Here's one I've not shared previously: Irving Berlin's 1940's classic "White Christmas." It's fitting, since last week I did "Rudolph" and […]

This week's tune is officially the toughest tune we've managed to swing to date. According to Des, taking 80's pop and jazzing it out is about one of the most difficult departures you can do. I was kind of bummed when he said that, because I always thought of Huey Lewis and the News as […]

When Des came to visit, I was lucky enough to get two tracks for the new album done. Yes you heard that - the new album is finally becoming a reality! YAY! One of the things I've always wanted to tackle was Tobymac's "Made To Love". I've heard it covered and mixed in a couple […]

Back in May, I was joined on stage by The Damn Whippersnappers for my first virtual concert. It was a fun-filled and amazing day. I've posted clips from that show, but none of them really do justice to the fantastic musicians that played with me that day. Well, as luck would have it, Des, the keyboardist […]
