What's up with Road to Real

We haven't Blogged in awhile....
We have gone through a lot in the last few months.
Stephanie was in a play and had a great time.
Mike and Linda spent a couple of weeks vacationing.

We have had about 4 encounters with Fiddle players but none of them have signed on. We are trying to expand our sound but when it comes down to it we have such a good time with just the 3 of us...

I have never really considered myself a "musician" and when I say that "musicians are a flakey bunch" I mean that as an observation more than an insult. Is it that difficult to make a commitment to something? I guess if you think you don't have enough time for something? but what else do we have but time, I guess it's just a matter of what you chose to do with that time. That is the question.

Ok I will get off that...

We have a couple of Border's Books engagements coming.
We played friday June 8th at Artichoke music and had a very good time doing that, small turn out but very supportive audience, it is a great place to play for sure.. look forward to going back there. Very good reaction from the owners, they invited us to participate in their "Folk Festival", we will see how that goes.

We also have become involved in a musical project with a great bunch of musicians with a lot of diverse backgrounds and loads of talent. There are about 8-10 of us. 3 guitars, bass, sax, vocalist, blues harp, drummer, percussionist.
This is personally very exciting for me, because we are playing quite a few of my tunes and talk about a great compliment. I have never heard my stuff played by such great musicians. I spend so much of my time smiling when we are playing. We are working towards a gig in Sept. A lot of practices for a lot of hours, but that time just flies by.
I will keep you posted on this.

Have a good one
