For the first time, I won't be renting a car, but will be doing the whole thing by public transportation, primarily Amtrak. Based on how it goes, I may then continue that mode for April on the West Coast, and then the summer where I plan to be on the road for most of the season. I'm still lagging, but tour diaries from the 44-date summer 2009 tour and the 17-date fall 2009 are slowly being filled in from the rough journals I kept. In addition to booking, right now I'm doing a lot of composing and practicing. I'm planning to release three guitar recordings in 2010, and have probably 75% of the material written. I'm hoping to record at least one by the March tour, though I'm not sure I can have CD's in hand until the summer touring. For now, I've made my first solo guitar recording, As Promised, available via Bandcamp, at the sweet price of pay-what-you like. Enjoy.
