Greetings all. Late July 2011 - about time for an update isn't it. July has been really busy, and a lot of fun too. We played a concert at WIU with our good friend Patrick Hazell. As part of the Bloomington Performing Arts series, we open for the great band Jambon from Chicago and we also made our yearly appearance sponsored by our good friends from WLGT at the Sugar Creek Art Festival, also in Bloomington, Illinois. Always a great time. We're leaving some gaps in our August & September schedule so we can take several short vacations.

I have a lot of new art that I will eventually get displayed here, probably not until winter. Still no new CD. Lot's of new songs but it's been hard to find the time to do a quality recording. I'm hoping that we can get it together soon.

Don has continued his relentless pursuit for prowess with steel guitar. With almost two years under his belt and a million or so hours of practice, he is really turning out some great music on that very complex instrument. To feature it more, we have added an array of traditional country and Texas swing to our repertoire. We are also considering a side project that would include another vocalist/guitarist that would do only music from that genre. We'll have to see how that works out. I do know that it has eye-opener learning and performing these great songs that are so close to the blues songs that we have performed for years.

So, that's it for now. Continued thanks to all of your who have supported us for so long.
