12/10/02 - I've got a new MP3 up for you to listen to. You can find it right here. It a song called "black sea" and is a very big change from what you are used to hearing from me. I'm hoping to do more things like it, I'll keep you posted.
I'll be playing a show on Friday the 13th at the IF Coffeehouse. For more information go to the LIVE page. This is the last show I'll be doing on my own this year, so it'd be great for you all to come out to this free show. I'll be on stage at 11. It's been a great year for me and I thank you all for your continued support and love. later -- ms
11/20/02 - OK: I know, I know... It's been an awful long time since I written anything here. Part of it is because I'm lazy, another part is because I've busy. Either way, there's no excuse for it.
There's not been much going on. I've been doing alot of recording with twelvedollarpen & on my own as well. I'm also trying to put a band together. So, if you or someone you plays drums or bass, and want to be in a band, get in touch with me and we'll set something up.
As I mentioned a second ago, I've been doing some recording on my own. I hope to have some demos of what I've been working on up on the site soon. Keep checking back for it, it's pretty different.
Shows: This Saturday I'll be doing a special folk based show at The Crimson Moon in Dahlonega. Come on out, it'll be one of the last times I play this year. It's 2 bucks and starts at 8:30. See you there! -- ms
9/16/02 - Hey there all. What a weekend! The IF gig on Friday was a success as was the TOURBABY night at the Cotton Club on Saturday. I met a lot of new folks and got a bunch of postive feedback, not the painful kind. Thanks to everybody for showing up and supporting a very hungry local musician.
Also a big congratulations to the contest winners this week. Chris Bono scored himself a copy of the new live EP, The Signature EP for knowing that my favorite vegetable was fried okra. Sean Currey also will be recieving a copy of A Progression of Sorts for his winning guestbook entry. Go read it, it's pretty funny. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest. Another will be following shortly.
I've updated the website. Here's a list of the pages updated:
**MP3 of the week – A new MP3 of a song that you've
probably heard if you've seen me play out over the past year.
It's called common.
**website of the week – The guys in
The Likes Of Which are so good to me that I've kept them as
the link of the week for a second week. We had a really successful
show at the Hard Rock last week, so go check out what all the
fuss is about on the forum.
**personal info about me – Updated weekly, it is located
in the bio section of the site. There was
some confusion about where to find it. Sorry, now you know.
**your emails - This is a new thing. I want you to send
in your emails about the stuff that happens to you. Got something
cool to say? Did you do something really stupid?
Tell me about it. Every email will be posted
here. There's nothing there yet, so get your emails in!!
On the show trail, there are a couple of twelvedollarpenshows coming up in the next couple of weeks. Including a fantastic show at the Red Light Cafe on Saturday. We play at 10. For all the info, click on that link back there.
Well, that's all folks. Don't be a stranger, I won't either... ms
