I’ve been working on Album Covers for Psychic Vampire. This time i’ve done a linoleum block print of the lower right corner of the elevator image. I’ve finished about 50 of them (much faster than my previous method of tracing and painting which I did for the first 100)

I learned that I share a birthday with Loretta Lynne (April 14)!

I’ve got a show on Tuesday April 22 (Earth Day!) 7pm at “Piano’s” thanks to Bunny Punch band leader Jessie Shaffer whom I’ll be playing with. YES! Hope to sell some records that night.

I went to a ukulele open mic last night and played this song and brought some copies of the words and folks played along.

Now, you can listen to it on sound cloud and play along… or just play it without the sound… or play with the video on youtube. Or just listen or don’t listen. Then, record your own version and send it to me. I love you, thank you.

Another video version of Willie Nelson’s Waltz. I think its sweet and sad. The footage is from a road trip that Sean and I took right after Christmas. I recorded the audio in our basement here in Brooklyn.

Goodbye Goldenboy, It's been amazing. love love.

I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t see this coming… but, Oh Goldenboy, what a ride! I’ve learned so much about touring, playing bass and being in a band these past four years. I am sincerely happy that Keith Brown is now the “official bass player” of Goldenboy.

I guess now, I’m ready to make my own plans, I want to tour and play and sing my songs. Part of me believes that if I keep saying this out loud to whomever will listen… it will happen.

I’m sad and I feel rejected but I also feel relieved to know that I’m done, that I can walk away with the experience and let go of the responsibility. New York is a new chapter.

I also feel a heightened sense of urgency, like I have to work extra hard so that I don’t slip into oblivion. I know my record label (Kitten Charmer) will be sad that I’m no longer part of an established act. I’m going to miss people and events associated with Goldenboy. Bah. Lots of work to do. I need to make Kitten Charmer proud.

28 more album covers ready to send to Kitten Charmer in San Francisco. The next 100 will be linoleum block prints. I’ve already got the blocks, now I just need to do the work.

New York City

I’m so far away from California! I scoffed when Sean mentioned getting away to somewhere warm for a weekend… but tonight I see his point. It’s cold. Today I caught myself thinking a lot about Nicole, Bryan and Shon of Goldenboy. I imagined them sitting on the warm hill of Shon’s back yard in Los Angeles as they started working on the new album and helped Shon Sullivan celebrate his birthday.

The grass is greener in California.

I miss Los Angeles, I can’t get over how busy everyone is here in New York (myself included). I just got home from work, ate some pasta and salad and now I feel compelled to write this. Then I’m running off to choir rehearsal until 9:30.

I did an open mic at Bar 4 last night. I gave away a “Katy Stone”. (The cutest calling card ever). Tomorrow is Sean Wallace’s birthday and we may swing by The Path Cafe before we meet up with some friends so I can sign up for their open mic. Maybe I’ll sing Happy Birthday to my sweetheart.

So since I’m missing my Goldenboy band-mates, I thought I’d share some links about what they are up to….

Goldenboy is playing March 1st in Los Angeles

Nicole recorded her song “Newest” watch it on youtube

Bryan uploaded a bunch of stuff to Sound Cloud This one is called “In the Box”
