Hi friends-
Hope all is well. It’s been an eventful few weeks. My brother and his wife just had their first baby and I am a new aunt. I can’t believe how amazing it feels. I was out in Kansas City with them for almost a week and it was so incredible holding this tiny little angel. I love her so much!!! I will attach a picture after this blog. It’s amazing how innocent she is and how she is just taking it all in with wonder and amazement. Ah, I could on:) Babies are pretty cute.
On a sadder note, it is amazing how deeply affected I have been about the Air France flight that went down last week. I guess we all need constant reminders of how fragile life is, but wow. I guess it is because it could have been any one of us…but also that they don’t know what happened. I just hope and pray nobody suffered. I hope they did not really even know what hit them. I just hope all of families are hanging in there and finding some iota of comfort from each other. Go give someone you a hug.
Hi friends-
I have a cool review and music show to share with you. It's always funny how these things seem to come in clumps. In any case, it has made for a very nice weekend and Tuesday:) Here are the links!

I hope that everyone has had a great weekend and took some time to think about our troops today. I had a nice day wandering around the city. And I ended up at Guitar Center where I bought a yahama keyboard 88-85 and I am so excited. I want to work on writing more tunes off the keyboard so it is going to be fun!
I also got a great review this evening from blog based in England. I was really happy after reading it. And I want to give you the chance to check it out! Here is the link. You have to scroll down to find my piece. http://rebelriffs.blogspot.com/
Happy Memorial Day my friends!!

Hey there friends!
I wanted to let you know about a very cool mix made by Valslist (www.valslist.com) out of Chicago. They put out mixes and find great music so you don't have to. I am happy that Big Log was added to the list. If you are looking for a new mix, click above in on the blue title above and then click anywhere in the box. There are some really great songs on it. It's called Cocktail Party 5.
Check it out!

Hi everyone!!
I am finally back in New York after being away for a week and a half in Texas, Boston, New Hampshire, and DC.
It was an amazing adventure and I am EXHAUSTED! BUT I am so very excited about my show at The Living Room this Wednesday, the 11th! We are rehearsing tomorrow and I am fired up! If you are in NYC, please come!
I go on at 9pm!
Attached is a picture of Baloo and me on a cross country ski in New Hampshire on an utterly beautiful day last week. I went up there to recharge the batteries for a couple of days. It was freezing but sunny. Baloo doesn't like to have his picture taken!
Until very soon my friends!

There was a guy at Starbucks today who was on the phone and said that everyone was happy today because it was FAT Tuesday. I looked around on the 6th Ave Starbucks and begged to differ but I thought it was kind of funny so I smiled and went on my (merrier) way. I didn't even realize it was FAT Tuesday so it was cool to find out in the beginning of the day rather than at midnight or something.
Online publicity campaign still going well. Today, my song Back to You was featured on Windy City Radio

And I got a nice review over the weekend.

Hi friends-
I hope that all is great with everyone and that you enjoyed the long weekend and Valentine's Day! My weekend was fabulous. I went to a party on Saturday night that was, well, let us say, interesting...but the highlight was going to Norwalk yesterday and having an amazing time:) I got back to the city today and thought it was going to be a little more calm but it was nuts! Business as usual despite President's Day. The city that definitely doesn't sleep. At least I found a cool place to take Baloo on a walk in Scarsdale before heading back to the concrete!
So, I am so psyched because in the last couple of days I booked a show at The Living Room and back at Rockwood Music Hall! I haven't played The Living Room in a while so this is going to be incredibly exciting.
I hope, if you are in NYC, you will pencil in the shows! March 11th at The Living Room at 9pm and April 5th at Rockwoods at 4pm.
And I have been on a few more podcasts!

Well, the show in Portland was a success! I had a blast playing at the Northstar Music Cafe. There was a great crowd and they couldn't have been any nicer. I played a solid set and definitely want to go back there. Yahoo!
I also did a couple of radio shows and a podcast interview that will be aired this Friday night. More on that in a couple of days!
This picture is from a big board they had at the venue...the cut-out was actually Sarah Palin's face. It was hilarious so after the show, I stuck my head in and got a shot! :)
Now I am back in NYC resting up tonight and then hitting the ground running tomorrow!
Hope everyone is great!

So, I am sitting in this very cool restaurant in Portland, Maine right now called O'Naturals. All local ingredients, eco friendly...great use of natural light, etc. And I am looking out at this gorgeous little park in the heart of downtown all full of snow with the sun shining down on it. It's pretty awesome. I have secret dreams of settling down in a town like Portland if not Portland itself. Days like today remind me how nice it is to know your neighbor, smile at someone and not have them look at you like you are crazy, and to just feel Old Man Winter snow and all:)
I just wrapped up a radio show at WMPG 90.1 (wmpg.com) here in Portland and it went really well. Chris Darling was awesome and we had fun bantering back and forth in between songs. I played Watch your Step, Do it Out of Love, Wait for You, and my track off of my old album, Don't Do it Alone. He played, from the album, Quiet Night of Quiet Stars, Look Ahead (his personal favorite), and Back to You. We covered a lot of ground in an hour!
Hi everyone!
Thanks for visiting my site today. I have some real-time news for you!
After I finish up on the computer here, I am going to start packing and head up to Penn Station to Boston for a couple of radio shows tomorrow and my Portland show on Sat. I am really looking forward to it and am psyched to get out of the city for a few days! I will let you know how everything goes:)
So, a couple of happenings.
First I got a review yesterday that I am really pleased with. I love that Andrea mentions Baloo, too. Very cool.
Here is the link so you can check it out. You have to scroll down a little bit.
