July 14, 2008: Well our Light in Winter show was a fantastic collaboration with Professor David Sloan Wilson; we received a standing ovation and lots of wonderful feedback from the audience at Hocket Recital Hall at Ithaca College.

We've released a new compilation CD of a bunch of older tunes, we're calling it In The Moonlight, and we're about to release a CD of some newer pieces recorded by what I call the Big Band Water Bear formation. The CD will be called "Live at the Congo", which is our nickname for the First Congregational Church where we recorded. The photo here was taken at that session, which occurred over two days in May of 2006. Yes I know that is over two years ago now! But better late than never, etc., etc.
