Happy New Year.

So here is a short re-cap of the last few weeks for me.

December is a big month for me. Before I have a chance to recover from Turkey Day, my wife's birthday starts off the month. A week later is my father's b-day. Then I get a couple of weeks before what Fred Sanford would describe as "the big one". Well kinda...I think Fred was speaking of a heart attack, but you all know what I mean. Then I have a few days off before New Years Eve, (which ALL musicians are required by the law of the universe to work).

I hope I am not coming off sounding grumpy. What I am trying to say is I had a wonderful holiday and hope you did too. I thank everyone who sent me holiday wishes with cards and the "new hottest" method of text messages. I also got a new fishing pole for Christmas (thanks Aunt Cathy). Oh, and a new (old) set of 1964 Ludwig's.

Lately I have been gigging with a guy named Mike Lyons. I will be doing select dates around Jacksonville with him while the season is slow.

No Address is really happening. It is truly an exceptional thing. The band should be doing more writing / sessions this month.

Ben Lauren's solo record is coming right along. He has some wonderful musicians playing on his record. Check Ben's blog http://www.benlauren.blogspot.com/ for updates.

Other than all that, the Jaguars had a horrible season and are not in the playoffs. Oh well, I suppose neither is Dallas!! (that's for you Jerry)

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year ahead of them. Please tell someone everyday that you love/appreciate/like/ them. And try to walk at least 10,000 steps. Oh, and don't worry about the economy or your own financial situation/ disaster......everyone is in the same boat!!!
