Anyway, the after party was a blast. About 15 people from the concert went with us down to "Goro Sushi" restaurant and ate. Of course, the sushi was AMAZING, the sake as TASTY and we had a piano there for any musician to play. I played about 3-4 songs, Todd Kelly played 3-4 songs, Bob Baker played 1 and David Lanz played 2.

Rosemary Butler was there as well and I got to joke around with her and take some funny pictures! All in all, what a great night and I will write about it more in depth a little later when I have the video and pictures to go along! I'm so motivated after these concerts, now on to get my next album recorded! Woo Hoo!

Well, I am very close to a distribution deal that will allow a wider spread outlet of my music to retail stores and the digital domain. Line19 is near ready to launch its website and Todd Kelly and I have collaborated on a CD entitled "Salus - Health & Relaxation." We have received numerous requests to make a meditation CD. But we didn't want to jump on the mainstream production wagon that is very prevalent in the market. In turn, we have come up with a part rhythmic and melodic journey that takes someone on a journey. We wanted to make sure that we hit the "relaxation" notion on the mark, but also to focus on one's health. In fact, Salus is Latin for "health." The CD will be out very soon, well before Christmas, so expect an update soon!

Oh Yah!! I am also getting radio play in Canada again for "Steal My Heart!" Woo Hoo! I hope that my new management will be able to pick up where my old promoter (who passed away earlier this year) left off in January trying to get a concert scheduled in Vancouver. Who knows, but it would sure be fun!

In the meantime, I'm back to myself and have no further plans for band formation nor ever will. When you're going to do something right, do it yourself. My dad always taught me that. So, expect to see a lot of new music to come from me in the next 6 months!!! Oh, and by the way, the title for the next album is... "The Space In Between"...

Nashville is where Dedications originally came to fruition. It was after recording in LA, NM, CO that I just ventured out here to live in an InTown Suites for 2 months while I networked around town. It is here where I met Tre Corley back when he was just starting out. We've kept in touch and our friendship alive through the years -- which has truly been a blessing. Recently, he won 2 Prestigous Dove Awards and was Nominated for a Grammy that Amy Grant eventually won. So, he is also a co-producer for these songs as well.

If you recall, Tre was the co-producer for all of Dedications. And we plan to use his services to create some suprises for Jenni and my new CD due out (hopefully) end of this year. So, don't buy any Christmas presents early... wait for the CD to come out so you can spread the music to everyone you know!!

I'm sure I'll write more while I'm out here in Nashville. I am very glad to be here and have needed a vacation... work vacation for quite some time so I can find that little bit of gravity I cherish so much. Plus, Jenni has been in California and Mexico... so I got jealous!!
