    2004-11-09: I was talking to Edgar Heckmann last week. You know Edgar. He’s the Main Man over at Blue Rose Records, the wonderful German label that has been my home since 1998. Anyway, we were having a nice chat until i realized I had to get off the phone because, as I told him, "I havemore

    2004-10-05: This can't be happening. I'm watching the Los Angeles Dodgers face the St Louis Cardinals in the first game of the major league baseball playoffs. And I'm watching the game from my living room. Usually in October I am on tour. And the tour is usually in Europe which means that I findmore

    2004-08-30: I was just walking down Broadway, listening to Bob Dylan's "Love And Theft" at top volume on my headphones. Everybody who has spent any amount of time with me in the last few years has probably heard me go on and on about how much I love Dylan's vocals on that record. And it's obviously notmore

    2004-07-02: With the Fourth of July weekend approaching and the humidity level rising like skyrockets in the sky, it seems a good day to stay in and take stock of the last few weeks. Since the last posting, I've played two shows which matches the total for the previous five months. Yes, the year of writing, recharging and researchingmore

    2004-05-26: Well, THAT was incredible. And I wish all of you could have been there. But I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.It was Monday night (May 24) and my buddy/bass player Dave DeCastro was booked to play a solo show at the Lakeside Lounge over on Avenue B.more

    2004-04-27: They tell me that the Springtime is beautiful here in New York but I wouldn't know as Spring is the time of year when we are usually on tour (and I should point out that Spring is beautiful just about everywhere we go) and I'm rarely home to see the cold winter months change into the thawed wonders ofmore

    2004-03-17: We played our first show of the year last weekend here in town at sin-e. You might know that name from Jeff Buckley records or various barometers of hipness from the mid-90s but the club has actually moved from its previous St Mark's Place location and is now settled in the increasingly bustling Lower East Side.more

    2004-01-23: No doubt about it--it's cold here. My friend (and former tourmate in Australian Blonde) Tito just moved here from Spain and said "What is this? Jupiter?" Well, maybe it's not that cold but to someone who is used to Spanish (or Californian, in my case) temperatures, it's pretty bone-chilling. They say that last Thursday nightmore

    2004-01-04: 2004. Looks like some kind of typo, doesn't it? Every time my computer has crashed in the past, the date would automatically shift to a default year setting of '04. That was meant to be 1904, a precursor and afterthought and ultimately red herring for the Y2K scare that will go down in history alongside pet rocks,more
