Musical updates & such

Been a while since my last post. I went on a trip to Thailand in November. It was awesome! The main problem with that country is its lack of bluegrass music. (Forget the political turmoil that had me stuck there until Dec 5!) Otherwise, it's a great place, especially the people, and the food, and the history. I did run across a Thai dude singing American country music in a pub. He did a good job. Check out the clip on YouTube.

I continue to be pretty obsessed with bluegrass music. Been listening to Tony Rice a lot. I also picked up a Christmas album from Hungry Monks called All Thru the Night. It's an Irish thing. I love it.

I've had this idea in my head for a while now that I need to record some of the songs I've written over the years. This week I got together with Walter Biffle and Bob Sachs. They helped me tighten up an arrangement of a song called "Caroline." It's fun working on music with those guys - real professionals. We still have some work to do, but the first draft came out pretty good. Let me know what you think. I'm thinking of calling the recording Big Timber Project. Let me know what you think of that as well. Thanks!
