Fall is UP on us again!

Howdy!

I hope you are healthy and happy!

I have been going through a lot of good changes lately. Not always the easiest, but definitely for the better. I see a lot of my friends and family going through their own changes and I wish you all ease in transition and strength and courage to carry on in hard times.

I have helped a few people check some things off their list over the summer. Ranging from getting into the Denver School of the Arts to just being able to play a "Real G chord." I went out and helped three students purchase new guitars lately as well...a great time! Teaching music has been a wonderful experience for me and I hope that it continues on. It is truly the most rewarding job I have had on the level of helping others. I can hardly believe that I actually get paid to teach people to play music! Thank you to my students!

I have been back in my Kendo Dojo for the last few weeks! I can't tell you how much this means to me! It has taken me about ten months to get back into shape so that I could even contemplate going to the dojo. I am in terrible shape and taken to the brink at each practice session. I have the right spirit, but my body is weak yet....this will be changed very soon!

Now to what's NEXT!

H.I. (Hillbilly Inferno) has a couple of shows coming up in the next couple of weeks. One at Moe's BBQ and the other at Regis University.

Moe's is up first THIS coming Saturday Sept the 4th.

Casey James Prestwood & the Burning Angels w/ O'Holloran, Pigeon Port will also be on the bill! They have some amazing Banana Pudding people! Come Bowl a game...eat some good BBQ and then party it up with Hillbilly Inferno!

Regis University's Berkeley Concert Hall is up next on Wed Sept the 8th at 8pm ~ it's FREE and ALL AGES!

There will be a slight educational element to this show as well...so if you are interested in the History of our music you might not want to miss out on this show!

There are a lot of pending and tentative dates rolling out there....so be ready for plenty of live music coming your way!
