Hi Guys,
I forgot to post this earlier in the week. Today from 5-6 pm I am peforming at Ceasars Palace in the New Forum shops at a store called "Villa Reale" . This is a special fundraiser/auction for battered kids.
It should be a great a event. I hear some celebrities showing up! So if you are in the area or Las Vegas Today April 17, stop by. It's FREE and open to the public.
A few weeks ago I was invited to sit in and play with the group
Odyessy in Las Vegas. The song they invited me to play was
"Fragile" written by Sting. It is a haunting and beautiful melody.
Hope you all had Great Holiday and a Happy New Year Celebration!
New Year's in Las Vegas is always crowded, fun and exciting! Vickie and
I actually stayed home for the first time in years and watched all
the happenings on TV. We had a front row seat and had a blast!
So are you glad we are in the new year?
Personally I had a great year that ended on one of my most
challenging times ever. I had some great music gigs. Vickie
and I worked on a few cool video projects. A few friends
passed away this year. I worked as an internet marketer on
a successful project with Mark Victor Hansen and Bob Allen.
I became a new uncle. I was diagnosed in November
with diabetes. Pretty full year. This is called life.
Good times mixed with challenging times. The secret
is to enjoy it all! (Which I am still learning)
Everyone has been affected by the economy in one
way or another. I know a lot of people that had rough times and
are continuing to claw their way back to some sort of balance.
With record foreclosures and unbelievable high unemployment
rates people are being forced to take inventory of their life, skills
and talents.
Even the rich have been affected. Nobody got a pass on this one!
I have a few sayings on my office wall: "In order for things to change, you must change.
in order for things to get better, you must get better." Jim Rohn
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller
"Change your thoughts and you change your world." Norman Vincent Peale
"A goal is a dream with a deadline." Napoleon Hill
These saying inspire me everday. They remind me of
things I need to be doing and thinking as often as possible.
I have a number of goals for this year. Over the next few
months I will share some of them with you. However, at
the top of my list is my health.
I know now, more than ever, it's not only important
but critical that you feed your mind positive and optimisitc
thoughts. Watching the news is a recipe for killings your
dreams and feeding your fears.
I also believe that during these challenging times we all
need to keep pursuing our dreams, what ever they may
be. I am not saying that you need to be doing any of this,
I'm letting you know I will be doing this.
I feel so strongly about it that I am doing a workshop
about it and you're invited!
Hello, I've got a concert coming up this Friday. I will be sharing a
the stage with my friend " Mortonette". I'll be playing the first half and
she is my special guest closing it out...
Mortonette has a voice from God and when she sings you
will feel it in the depth of your soul. She has performed
and sung with Michael Jackson, Quincey Jones, Rod Stewart,
Billy Joel, and many others.
I'll be playing a wide variety from Steely Dan, Flamneco to Originals.

I opened the Las Vegas "Strings For Tibet" Concert with a
song by Stanley Meyers called Cavatina. This song was featured
in the movie the Deer Hunter with Robert DeNiro.
I used a Godin Guitar Synthesizer with a Roland VG-99. With this
combination I was able to create a Sitar/Guitar sound. It sounded great.
This piece was originally written for Classical Guitar and Orchestra. In this
version, I improvised an solo introduction just playing my guitar synthesizer.
The band doesn't come in for a minute or two. Notice the Sitar/Bells
sound...After the video, tell me what you think...
