The new CD is coming along well. I've been in the studio mixing the recordings of the PSALM Salon Concert. I also just had a wonderful recording session with Flautist, Jan Alba. I hope to have it done in late summer.

After our sold out show at the PSALM Salon in March, we've been booked for a concert on March 19th, 2011. Thanks to all who came and the amazing energy you brought. Paul Butler's playing was exquisite throughout the show. Phyllis Chapell sat in for a haunting and magical version of "The Soul Wakes", and Jan Alba added some sweet flute to a raucous, "Big Shoes and a very tender,""Til There Was You". Lisa Devuono did a beautiful poetry reading of Rumi to open the show. The recording of the concert came out beautifully and I'm planning to include much of it on the new CD, "Love is a Madman", due this summer.
