FEBRUARY NEWS '08

Greetings from Howard, Colorado, where it's a good idea to shovel your roof... and the snow keeps coming. I saw an Antelope being chased by a coyote across the back 40. It was like the Discovery channel in my own back yard. I opened the door and yelled "Hey over here" and the little feller turned right for me and ran over to our yard. The coyote had a look of resentment as he skulled off.
Meanwhile indoors, Gabrielle just finished recording a version of Willy Nelson's "Take back America" song for posting on Willy's site.
It features Ryan Dricky on twin Fiddles and me on Mandolin. It should be posted soon.
I just got back from a week of overdubbing in Denver for Bill Wright's "Barbwire" CD project. We even added Sitar to a cut! We're just about ready to mix.

APRIL NEWS '07

YO HO HO!
HAPPY SPRING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY LITTLE GREEN BLADES OF GRASS! This is the best time of the year - warm, long days, surfing mountain slush, T-shirts and debauchery... Lets all share in a collective group exhale - ahhhshush- as we bid the cold farewell and inhale - fffuuuauhh- the glorious rights of Spring.
The String Cheese Incident blew through the Rockies last week with 5 giant sold out shows. I was fortunate to attend 2, and especially lucky to get to Jam at an after-show show in Vail with Drew Emmitt and friends (Billy Nershi, Anthony Hannigan, Scott Law, and Tyler Grant).
The Cheese percussion section ( Travis and Jason Hann) have a new live looping duo, EOTO. I got to see and sit in with them on Paddy's day night in Dillon. Holy Hi-Tech!
Historical footnote: Travis played percussion with me when we lived in Crested Butte in the early 90's. We performed as a duo, and with Voodoo Chili, an electric 4-piece jam band. We later formed an acoustic trio with Sandy Moon called Travis, Hayes, and Moon.
Travis played percussion on everything I recorded in those years- Pack of Dogs, Lunch, and many projects for other folks. I was playing casual bluegrass gigs with Billy Nershi, Michael Kang, and Kieth Moseley around CB at the time in between tours with Melanie and Acoustic Junction. Once when I was out of town they got Travis to fill in and the "Blue String Cheese Accident" was formed.
SCI retuned to CB a year later to cut their first demo in my bedroom studio. Travis and I reunited in the Ragged Mountain Ramblers in 2001 for a show at the Crested Butte Center for the Arts that became the Sold OUT at the Center CD.
One more historical note: Travis first met Jason Hann at the Sierra Fest in '97. Their first impromptu Jam session is captured on the Lunch CD (Cheese Camp Drum Incident).
