Yesterday I had the opportunity to share my music with some up and coming guitarists from the Toledo area at the guitarfest at Toledo School for the Arts. The performance was a lot of fun and the clinic I gave seemed to go over really well. I opened for Brian Vander Ark at Mickey Finn's Pub in Toledo last night and it proved to be an incredible experience. This was my second opportunity to open for him. The first time was quite a messed up experience because of the Toledo riots that took place the same night a few years ago. I really did not get a chance to talk to him because of all the chaos. Last night was cool, met him and we talked briefly. He is a really nice guy, down to earth and that really reflects in his music...

The last six months to a year has been crazy busy and music for a while took a little of a back seat to other things in life. I got married, bought a house, and am working on my master's degree in secondary ed. Musically I have gotten back into playing bass and keys in a rock band and have been getting a good a** kickin on my vocals. (never was that much of a singer).

I am in the process of writing new material. For some reason it is happening slowly.....really slow. The recent performances has taken me back to songs that I have not played for quite some time..so long that I had to pull out my own CD to relearn....absolutley rediculous!
