It’s here! The Hard Parts Pop Up is available for PURCHASE HERE on cdbaby.com. My considered opinion is that you ought to purchase it right the hell now.
Most of the songs have preview clips available on the aforementioned (and linked) cdbaby page, but for a limited time YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE ALBUM […]

A quick update on my new album, “The Hard Parts Pop Up”. Graphics have been designed, audio has been uploaded, duplication has been ordered. A couple weeks, and I should have a link for the CDBaby page where you can buy your very own copy!

I know. It’s been quiet around here lately. Well, here’s a real long post to bring anyone who cares up to date. There are a bunch of reasons for my absence, some happy, some not so happy. I’ll start with not-so-happy and work my way up.

This is a really good one. Lots of good music. My song, “Message Begins” is used as an intro and outro to the show. Cool! smallWORLD podcast

This one’s from Ireland. It’s by someone who talks…very…slowly. My song is at the top of the show, though, so even those with busy schedules can listen! Thanks, um, apparently, Slasher. Checkitout.
