Moved to Tucson (posted 1/30/2009)

Wow, a lot's happened that I haven't been posting on my own site - well, after living the la-la life in venice, we fell in love with Tucson, AZ - that's right we've gone from the ocean to the desert - and loving it! Jamie's started up a new studio called Chamber of Sounds and we're playing music every day like Nature intended! We've met lots of great people and musicians already and The Modeens have a gig on Feb 13th at the Hut! I *love* rocking out on bass with The Modeens, but I've also been wanting to go back to my folkie roots, too - here are some live recordings of some old tunes done with me and Kevin Henderson on acoustic guitars and Jamie on bass: Spinning and Love's Been A Shadow (aka, Spanish Song).

More news and a website redesign comin soon!
