1/7/23
Here it is a brand new year. Recovery is going very well, I'm ready to play again. I hope to make some new fans and friends in the coming year.
"Hold Your Tears, Unplugged" will release on January 27th. This has been one of my best performing recordings in the current "produced" version. This version is very much live performance as there are no overdubs or "comps" here, just me and my guitar.
I hope this update finds you and yours well and happy.
