Went to Nashville a few weeks ago to seeKathy at the Ryman and also Game 2 of the Sharks/Predators game - been too busy to get my review up or anything else.

Finally made the switch over to the new blogger. Lets see how much spam this will generate.

Have some photos up of aftershow from Kathy's New Haven Show. I am currently looking for a new site to host my photos as the site I am using is shutting down as of March.

Off to see Kathy today in Cambridge, MA.

Back from three wonderful Chistmas shows by Kathy. Don't know how they do it but it keeps getting better every year. Photos should be up sometime this week.

Went to see Suzy Bogguss last night down in Sellersville, PA and wound up having a Kathy Konnection - Craig Brickhardt was the opening act and opened with Your The Power which Kathy recorded.

Got home at 3:20 am and made it to work for 8:00 am with no problem.

Just happened to look at my google news aleart email for mattea and saw that there was a songwriter series tour hitting New England starting today so I just had to go and it was worth it. Got my ticket online at 2:30 and thought I had the 4th row. I got to the theatre around 6:15 for parking in the small lot near the theatre and went over to get my ticket and asked how sales were and was told not good. Couldn't go in until 7:15 or so as the artists didnt get in until 6:30 and were doing a sound check.

The 15 to 18 of us who brought tickets plus the staff of maybe 15 or so got to enjoy a great show with Ralph Murphy, Tony Arata, Darren Bessette, James Dean Hicks, Pat Alger and Richard Leigh. Each artist did 4 songs each taking turns like a songwriter in the round format.

Got to hear Seeds and after the show the artists shook hands with most of us and thanked us for coming. I wound up buying 3 CD's and a tshirt for this little tour. Thinking of going up to Keene, NH to see them again on Saturday, they are in New London, CT tomorrow but I am going to a SoundTiger game in Providence.. Oh well..
