Well, a lot has happened over the past few weeks. I got settled into Melbourne, Australia where I am temporarily and hopefully inspirationally residing for an indiscriminate amount of time. Life here is great. It’s sunny, by the beach, and very friendly. I have been busking in central Melbourne and that has been going great. There are so many very talented buskers in Melbourne and I am very happy to be a part of the community here. On top of busking I have also been writing a lot and I think some really special stuff has surfaced. I have my first official Australian gig coming up on December 27th at a really cool place called the St. Kilda Branch. St. Kilda is actually a suburb where I am living right now, which is right by da beach and very laid back. My computer died last week due to exposure to beer. The spill actually occurred in Madrid, Spain about a month ago and it was working that whole month until it decided it didn’t want to turn on anymore. Unfortunately Apple’s warranty does not cover spills so I ended up having to buy a new computer. That was quite a downer but I’m back and better than ever. A word of advice would be to keep all liquids away from your computer to avoid the mistake I made. It’s not fun when your computer stops working. People keep asking me when I am going to come out with another CD and although I have about 70 songs that have not even been recorded I am not exactly sure. I have been on a writing frenzy for the past few months trying to create a really nice pool of songs and I really want to find the right people to help produce an album with me. It’ll probably happen when I go back to the states. I have some people in mind but I really want to make this album something special so we’ll just have to see. I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday.
