It's true, it's truenew CD in the works

At the risk of talking about a no-hitter in progress, the rumors are true. I'm back in the studio working with some of Milwaukee's finest musicians on a new recording under the production guidance of John Sieger (Semi-Twang; R&B Cadets; Subcontinentals). Rough tracks down so far for seven songs. Tentative record title: "Silhouette of a Fool". Hoping for an early 2012 release. Songs so far: Bongo Jesus; Bad Day at the Beach; 100-Year Brunch with Shirley MacLaine; Silhouette of a Fool; Thundermen Nights; No More Delusional Than Usual; Just Stupid, I Guess.

On the road again

The 2011 version of the "Offset the Paycut Tour" continues with guitar in hand, mostly because I have no other marketable skills and don't have the voice for drive-through fast-food speakers.
If you're out and about, please stop in and say 'hello.' And, remember, there's no such thing as a bad trop-rock event. Hope to see you on the road.

Wed, April 27 - La Palapa, San Carlos, Mexico
