Hi Friends, I'm finally back on the music scene. It was a pretty rough year. Both of my parents were very ill and my main focus was on caring for them. Fortunately, my Mom recovered but my Dad passed away on November 23, 2005. Another blow came to me on January 28, 2006 when I had to put down my cat, Wesley, my little soul to soul buddy. He had also been very ill. Well, now that I've bummed everyone out - sorry :( – let me update you on the music. I will soon be out performing acoustic shows but there are no dates available as of now. I've also written a few new songs, and have begun thinking about what other songs I’d like to include on my next CD. That’s it for now. Be well, be happy and cherish each day. Later, Joe
