I am in the process of redesigning my website which is great fun.  Stay tuned and hopefully I will post it at the beginning of the new year.  The reason I do this is to keep things fresh and new - plus, because I'm a creative, I can't help myself - I'm always in Creative Mode.  Since my website is through Hostbaby I have access to the templates they provide.  The newest development available is that within the templates I have more liberty to customize the template I choose to my liking.  It gives me more options without having to get a degree in graphics design or pay hundreds of dollars to a web designer.  Website on a budget, so there you go!  In essense I can put as much time or as little time as I want into the design with the functionality remaining pretty simple.

Just thought I'd share that.  Click HERE if you are interested in a musician or author website of your own!  Thank you HostBaby! 

So you will be seeing more farmers market gigs on my calendar.  Be sure to drop by a market near you to check out all the lovely local flavor!

But alas, there was a change in the wind - relief - so check out my calendar for 2011 - lots of Market gigs and a few other unusual venues I would have never thought of.  Ya, it seems like a late start but then again, maybe it's never late it's just what's it's meant to be.  Maybe I'm echoing nature - can you believe how Spring is dragging its feet this year?  Anyhoo, check out the calendar page and drop by one of my gigs if you are in one of those neighborhoods! 

Moxie Java Coffee has commissioned a compilation CD of Christmas originals from Idaho songwriters this year with Steve Fulton at Audio Labs as the producer.  My song Christmas Cards is one of the selections!  Yay!   All proceeds from the sales will go to The Idaho Food Bank!  You can pick up one of the CDs at any Moxie Java through the Holidays. 

More details to come as soon as I find out more!

Also, there are new pics in my photo section here on my website under Cherry Festival 2010.

AND I now have a snazzy flash player for my songs for your listening pleasure while you browse the pages.  Instead of autoplay I'm giving you the option to turn it on and off though, so that you can listen to songs on my music page or watch videos without the flash player going. 

I'm Happy to announce that the song category of my blog is well under way. So far I've uploaded 3 videos and 2 audios to the Blog-A-Song Category for your listening pleasure; will let you know when the rest of them are attached to the posts or when I blog a new song. 

Currently I'm using a Flip Ultra camera - it didn't cost much so the sound isn't as EXCELLENT as I'd like but it does the job - which is to help tell the story of the song.  Because of that I'm posting the lyrics under the video if any words are muffled.  The picture quality is great though. 

A Click HERE will take you there. . . 

Lately I've been working on some more new songs and reworking some that were originally written with my piano that lend themselves very well to this lovely instrument.  I will be posting them soon with video on my blog under the Blog-A-Song Category.
