I am in the process of recording a new "solo" CD in my home studio. The songs are all ones I have written or co-written and I am doing much of the music myself, but this time I am bringing in as many talented friends to help as possible. That includes a fiddle solo, male and female harmony vocals, a saxophone, a keyboard player who is much better than me, and others yet to be determined. One song might be a duet if one of my girl friends likes it enough to sing a couple of verses!

I am also getting an additional band off the ground. I still play in the Trop-Rock Junkies, a band that gets some really good gigs. But my songs mostly do not fit their formula so the Rose Island Band plays a lot of my songs plus those of another band member. We have been getting a gig a week which is enough, but it is a challenge to keep them coming.

The Trop Rock Junkies have three "road" gigs, including a July 4th in Indiana at Hoosier Speedway and Casino, supposedly for 10,000 people. I am not real enthused about going on the road!

That is keeping me busy.
