Hello! It's been way too long since I last checked in. I think that last one was from 2 Edens ago and I did manage to sell that bass(thanks Johnny Mac). I hope everyone is doing well the week after Halloween and voting. Too bad SF couldn't manage to get a Halloween gig. They have always been fun in the past. The last time Strangefolk played at Eden was a blast and I'm looking forward to the New years run. Gotta send out some props to Russ Lawton on the drums. The man manages to fill the pocket, keep the groove and do the songs justice while throwing in his own personal touch.

Strangefolk has had some downtime, but it has given me plenty of quality time with my son, Ashton. He's going to be three January 12th. Holy shit the time flies!

I've been playing a few local gigs up here in Maine as well. Hallowell really has some unbelievable talent and it's been a pleasure to get to know a lot of the musicians here. I've had the opportunity to sing and play on some friends albums lately. 2 albums that are now done are Stevie Jones-It Is What It Is (And It Does What It Does) and Tim Sullivan. I'm not sure what Tim's album is called yet or where to reach him. I think the album actually comes out next week (I'll let you know). You can reach Stevie at stevejones@gwi.net or www.thecominggrass.com. His album is REALLY good and I highly endorse it. He's one of the best guitar players around. Really,he's that good. Well,everybody hang in there, take care and we'll hopefully see you NYE.
