Several fun things going on musically this month… First, the peace really in Fort Worth last week was fun.

Data Errata

July 25, 2007.Reading time 1 minute.

I am proud to say that I made a mistake in this entry from a week ago. Well, technically, it wasn’t really a mistake. It was just information I didn’t know yet. What I didn’t know when I wrote you was that there was an anonymous donor at the Walnut Hill show. He/she (they’re anonymous…) […]

July 20, 2007.Reading time 6 minutes.

The other day I compiled some data on online digital downloads of my first CD. (I did this last year too…just updating…) This is data from companies that are actually selling my music online right now. I thought you might be interested to see which songs were most popular. I was actually a bit surprised […]

Out of Place

May 26, 2007.Reading time 3 minutes.

I feel out of place today, even though I’m at home. That’s because for most of the last ten years –mostly during this same weekend– I would not be at home. I would be at the Kerrville Folk Festival. During most of these years, I would have made that long, relaxing drive to Kerrville yesterday […]

A Conversation About Art and Soul

A while back, I wrote you about a great new podcast here in our area, called Art and Soul of North Texas. I’m writing you about it again today because I was the featured artist for March. Because of our vacation, we didn’t get the interview done until late in the month, and I wanted […]
