I charge my feet to keep up with the rest of my body, because I am running in all directions it seems.

Still working on the Airstream, slowly. Also have taken on a few side projects for other people. I won't talk about those. Smile. Many of you already know that I've been writing for AllAboutJazz.com, and so that has been like a form of meditation almost. And of course, I manage my schedule of playing music down here in the great Southern coast of the panhandle, as well as the trio's bookings. Though, I'm not sure how much longer musicians will be in demand when balloon sized tar balls start washing up on the beach from the oil spill.

I've been fortunate though, and have had opportunities to do some really nice interviews for the AAJ online magazine. And just recently began writing a column for the magazine called "Unsung Heroes". Looking forward to that.

Going through the massive database that is AAJ, I wonder how anyone could think that Jazz is breathing slowly. The organism of jazz is alive and cussing. Just not on American Idol. I know that as long as I'm able to move my own fingers, there'll be a lot of sound jumping out of my personal piano.
