The CDs have been selling well to friends and family, and even some friends of friends. I have sent some more out to be reviewed by all the biggest rags and I have a whole bunch more I can send to later when I get around to it. Now we have to see how well they will sell to strangers. Heading out on the road next week to play the Stevenson Bluegrass Festival up in the Columbia River Gorge by way of the Valley of the Rogue and Crater Lake. Road trip!
I also sent a CD to James King asking him to take a listen to "The Bar Fight" hoping that he would want to record and/or perform it. It's a story, and he's the bluegrass storyteller, so I figured hey, why not give it a shot.
Besides the CD, I have been having fun updating this web site with all kinds of cool stuff, make sure you check out the "Other Stuff" section for podcasts, a new interview, and, well, other stuff.

Rad, you made it to my new site. My obvious big news is that my new
CD, "Walkaway" is finally here! Rewind to Christmas
2004; my dad re-gifted me a Digidesign MBox, a neat little tech toy
that allows one to get recorded sound into any old desktop PC (in
my case an old Mac G4) and then process it with the industry standard
music editing software, ProTools. The good news was that this piece
of the puzzle was taken care of, but I quickly realized I was going
to need about 10 other items to even get started, including
headphones, monitors, etc.
I made a spreadsheet of the songs
I wanted to record and who I thought should perform each one.
My vision was to produce a solo CD that had all original tunes written
by me or my close friends and family. I wanted something that sounded
good, had wide appeal, and had a bunch of my friends on it. I am pretty
sure I got what I wanted, but you be the judge. Click on "My
Music" to learn more about the project...or click the album
cover just below.
