No local gigs to report the next few weeks, but I have a couple of other pieces of news. On Thursday, after a couple of painstaking months designing the artwork, I shipped off "Chasing Grace" to Oasis CD, which is manufacturing the disc. I have three weeks to make space for the boxes and start planning the official release events. For those of you who pre-ordered "Chasing Grace," I'll be shipping it to you as soon as it arrives. The rest of the world will get to see it a couple of months later.
The other news is that I've started offering lessons in guitar and mandolin for beginners. If you or kids might be interested, you can read the details below. If you know someone who might be interested, feel free to forward this info along to them. Start working on those calluses!
