European Co-conspirators and a Huge Producer. All in a Night


Hey you guys,

Thanks for a great show at Noergelbuff in Goettingen. Performed with Sven von Samson (percussion) & Adrian Schmidtke (Bass) and had just a grand ol time.

Jan Sperhake opened the evening with a set of sweet original tunes and we finished the night with a set of tunes from Great Big World, mostly. I'll be posting some sound recordings and maybe a video to the website soon.

This venue has officially tied with the Scheunenverein in Liebenau as my favorite European venue.
It's a joy to play for a room full of attentive souls. When you all chimed in on "Everything's gonna be alright", it just felt like home. Thanks again.

Some amazing, syncronicity happened last night, as well. First of all, I met 3 enthusiastic ladies from other countries (Belgium, France and Spain), who invited me to come play in their countries. I've made a pact with myself to do it within a year. Keep me hones.t

Then, while sharing some of the ideas about bigBEE records with a young lady who is versed in public service and music, I received the most incredible inspiration to invite her to be an intern. Amazingly, she seems to be as impulsive as I am and I think this is going to happen. There'll be more information about that on the bigBEE blog and site.

Earlier yesterday, I had received a call from a producer who was looking for a vocalist. As it turns out, he was the legendary Guenter Pauler from Stockfish Records. It looks like we're going to be doing a session on Monday.

Everyone who found out that the connection had been made between us was floored and Adrian, the bassist, told me that he is one of the top 3 in his field in the world. So, this can only be good. Can't wait to see his studio, hear the tracks and sing my fool heart out.

There is nothing quite as good as that feeling that you are absolutely on the right track. That you are in the right place, at the right time and you know exactly what you are meant to be doing on this journey.
