Bah!

"If you're going to have a blog, you might want to POST something now and then." 

Well fine, I will.  Many apologies, but the two main reasons my blogging has suffered so severely are 1.)  I'm able to connect much more easily with both my friends and those who share my interests AND get faster and more meaningful feedback using a certain social networking site, and 2.) my musical pursuits are a tremendous drain on my free time and have left me with far less meaningful blog content - it's a "same story, different day" sorta thing. 

Anyway, my hard driving acoustic string band Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses is still kicking a$$ all over the place.  We have tons of bar gigs, benefits, theater shows, and festivals on the schedule for 2011, sales of our DOUBLE CD "Then and Now" have been brisk, and we were recently featured on WDSE Channel 8's television program "The Playlist."  Video clips from that show can be found HERE and HERE.

Also, my other-worldly, outer space, experimental rock band Roxie Magistrate has been working hard and playing some great shows.  That band also has a T.V. appearance coming up in April, and we're putting the finishing touches on a set list that will allow us to play full 4 hour shows.  It's a LOT of work, but it truly is a labor of love.

Beyond that, I just made my 18th annual President's Day weekend winter camping trip (sadly a short, solo expedition), and I had a nice time and took some great photos.  It would make a heck of a blog post, but don't hold your breath.  ;-)  Peace!

  1. It's great to see a blog post again from you! I do enjoy Facebook, it has a more community feel to it, but sometimes I just need to cover something in more detail. I've been pretty negligent in blogging (and music) lately, but I'm working on it.
