Thanks to everyone who came out to the Concert for World Literacy in Sudbury last week-end, and thanks to Philip May for having Richard Underhill and I over - the event was a blast.
Watch out for Sarah Craig's new CD, you'll want to get a copy of that one as soon as it comes out.

-A couple of new CDs are now out there and gathering momentum, we are happy to report. Kim Jarrett's Thinking of You is doing quite well, and that's good news because she is a wonderful singer-songwriter. Tim Bovaconti performed most of e-guitars and I played on a few cuts.
