Hello Fans and Friends:
I take a lot of
heat (mostly from my wife) about not doing enough self promotion. I
visit lots of other performer’s web sites and they are constantly
updating their sites, listing their many awards, talking tales of
the road, letting their fans know where they will be performing
next, and I certainly admire them for having enough time to keep up
with all that. I suppose someday when writing and performing is my
only job I may actually be able to keep pace. I will, however, take
this opportunity to do one tiny bit of self promotion. I am very
excited to report that I am one of the five finalists in the Western
Music Male nominations for the Academy of Western Artists, 2011. I
am extremely grateful for those you that nominated me and we will
see what happens in January when we go to Fort Worth, Texas for the
awards ceremony.
The past year has
been the busiest so far with trips to Arizona in January, the Genoa
Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering in May, and the Big Bear Festival
in Big Bear, California. We met so many great people and I am very
happy to report the newest CD, THIS SIDE OF THE DIRT has been well
received and getting lots of airplay around the country. One of the
highlights of the year was the 49’er Encampment in Furnace Creek,
where not only was I a performer but was also tapped to be MC for
the music events. Talk about working outside your comfort zone!
Despite having never done that before it went off without too much
confusion and perhaps someday they will ask me to do it again. It
helps to work with professionals like: Chaparral, South Coast,
Gemini, Belinda Gail, and Mary Kaye. They made my job all the
easier.
We have some
things in the works for next year….and will keep you all posted on
developments as they come up. We do have performances coming up at
the Diamond Valley Casino in Susanville in April and the Laws
Railroad Museum in June for those that may be in the area. The exact
dates will be listed in the up-coming performances schedule. Also in
the works (currently in nebulous idea category) is a CD of all
Nevada Songs. My intention is to re-record a few of the older tunes
as well as add a few new ones as well. It should be interesting!
Probably won’t sell well anywhere else but if I just sell one to
every citizen of Nevada I should be OK. Perhaps with the exception
of Hawaii I don’t know if there any CDs out there with tracks
completely dedicated to one state.
Also up-coming
next year at the end of April is the 3rd Genoa Cowboy
Poetry and Music Gathering. Although I will not be one of the
performers this year I would like to take a moment and urge those
you that can make it to support the event. It is a terrific venue
and certainly has the potential to grow into one of the premier
events in the west. The event coordinators have put together an
excellent list of performers and you will not be disappointed.
I will be getting back to you soon and let ya know how the trip to
Fort Worth goes. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed. Interestingly
enough I had not been to Texas in 50 years and now I will have gone
there three times In 6 months……hummmmmmmm.
Thanks for all the support and hope to
see you down the road.
