JULY 2008

A quick note here to keep current.  Thanks for all the inquries....

Thanks so much to everyone for the great response to the lessons.  Im getting a lot of great questions and I'm trying to get to all of them.  Hopefully I'll be able to knock all of them out if time permits in the next few months.  I have gotten quite a few questions this time about private teaching as well.  I don't normally do private instruction, mostly because of my schedule.  But if you find yourself in NY and want to study privately then email me and I'll see what I can do. 

Played some great gigs Last month in NY w/Wayne Krantz, Dave Binney, Janek Gwizdala, Tim Lefebvre, Adam Kipple, Sean Nowell, Nir Felder, etc. and also did some double bills with Kneebody. Really great band and great guys to hang with.  Nate Wood is absolutely killing this gig.  You can check them out on their Myspace page:       

KNEEBODY ON MYSPACE

Coming up, for the Month of July 08 I will be mostly in California, with the exception of a couple of dates at the fifty five in NYC w/Krantz.   I will be working on a few different projects in California and doing some live playing in San Diego and LA w/Anthony Jackson, Mike Miller, Janek Gwizdala, Rob Whitlock, Dean Brown, Wayne Krantz, etc. In August I will be in the UK for a few dates in London and Wales. For those of you in Germany, keep your eyes open for a few dates that I will be doing over there in September 08.  Looks like I will be doing some live playing, recording, and Clinics in and around Germany at the end of that month. If you are around and would like to know where and when I'm playing you can see it on my LIVE PAGE.
