NEW music and other quick updates!
It's been almost 4 months since my last update here, and those 4 months have been a very busy time! The "Rockin' Around the Town Square" 2010 concerts were a blast and a success - so much so that the 2011 dates have already been scheduled and confirmed! Since January, I've kept busy working on recordings for 3 different simultaneous recording projects, which include an instrumental album of original material, a rockin' Christmas album, and an album of original material featuring vocals. As of now, I've made the most progress on the instrumental album, the Christmas album is the next most complete project, and the vocal album still has much work left to do. Considering my track record of being a perfectionist (to the point of obsessive compulsion) with my recordings, I'm amazed at how much material I've actually managed to complete recently.
Tentative plans for the remainder of 2011 will include much time spent recording - including completing and releasing the Christmas album (which will feature many of my arrangements as used for the past "Rockin' Around the Town Square" concerts, plus brand new material), plus completing (and possibly releasing) the instrumental album. The goal is to complete the Christmas album in time for this year's concerts, but time ultimately reveal the final outcome. I'm also in the process of scheduling several live performances for this coming summer and fall.
In addition, after nearly 3 years, I've finally updated the music player at baydamusic.com - it now features a total of 15 songs (with more to come soon) recorded between 1998 and 2011. Many of the songs recorded for the above-mentioned recording projects are currently streaming in the Jukebox Music Player - check it out at baydamusic.com by clicking on the "MUSIC" link!
