Michael Jackson R.I.P. We lost a GREAT performer last week. Michael Jackson was one of the best performers ever. The collection of accomplishments he made was amazing. He was a MAJOR influence on me as a performer, producer and writer. I always respected that he would stop at nothing to put his best foot forward and thought every detail of his work needed to be the utmost best. I respect that work ethic. When people die I think it's safe to say that in one way or another each of us stop for a second a reflect on our own lives. Michael Jackson shows me that the single most best thing one can do for yourself is to achieve. Achieve the goals you set for yourself and after you die, your accomplishments will stand on their own and no one can take that from you. They are more important than money or stature. When I think of Michael Jackson, I will always think of accomplishments. Thanks MJ! |

YouTube Interview with McCrackin I did a quick interview with McCrackin before our unplugged show in Long Grove at Strawberry Fest... Check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfuVOc_Ox3c |
Rain? Cancelled shows? This past week one of our shows was canceled due to the threat of rain. Many of you were curious if we were playing or not. We have our calendar all over the place. However the single best place to come to see if a show is canceled will be the front page of our website. I will always update our website as soon as I know if the show will be canceled. Many times the show won't be called until we are at the place, which prevents me from giving you fair warning, but when I can I will always change the home page on our website and the tour page. If you are unsure, check our website. Will also post on our Facebook page. |
