Just finished a 7 day tour of British Colombia as part of Trisha Gagnon's band that consisted of both the eminent John Reischman, and the ubiquitous Jim Nunally. It was a tour in support of her debut recording "A Story About You And Me" which I sang on, along side such luminaries as Vince Gill, Peter Rowan, Tony Furtado, i.e. Why me? you ask, not sure exactly, but as the story goes, she typed into Google something about "best country singer in California", and my name was, like... third!!?? I know, weird right? In any case, she gave a listen and apparently liked what she heard; next thing I know, I'm on the album. Then, the NEXT thing I know, I'm on stage in Penticton, B.C. with John Reischman, Jim Nunally and Trisha Gagnon who, besides being part of the 10 year juggernaut "John Reischman And The Jaybirds," have played along side many of the greats of Bluegrass (David Grisman, Tony Rice, etc...). Anyway, it was an honor, as well as a good time. I'll let you know if anything else springs forth...

Oh... here's a picture of me with John's Lloyd Loar...
