Have let a bunch of time go by here, so time to play catch-up. We'll start with my birthday pie (why not?), from 2 weeks ago. Starting some months before, I was already thinking ahead to my 2010 birthday, when I'll turn 50.
Just booked another (last minute) piano dedication concert, this time at the Central Baptist Church, in Millville, NJ on Sun. June 7, at 6(?)pm. Will be an interesting day, if the start date holds for the Sunday jazz brunch, in Easton, MD, from 11am-2pm. Also a little bit of a late gig on the Saturday night before. It'll be fun!

Had a unique opportunity in a concert a few weeks ago to receive 2 separate video recordings: one, a wider angle house shot, and the other, a closer shot with different angles throughout the concert. Special thanks to Dean Boshart, Sr for the latter, shown here. My friend, Chris Webb, is already working on a video project incorporating both. There may be some potential here. Meanwhile, here is my "ADD Improvisation" from that evening (click through the video to be taken to the YouTube page with a more detailed description).

Received this photo from the "Mutt Strutt", now, a week ago. We were set up on the courthouse lawn, with dozens of dogs (parading, strutting, jumping, dancing....) off to the right (my left). All I could do was keep my eyes on the festivities, and react as best I could. If you've never been to Chestertown, it's an historic, and pretty place. It's likely that George Washington walked where I'm perched. I suspect he would "keep off the grass". A really good idea on this day :)
