August news

I’ve been lucky to get out of the Phoenix heat during part of July- a week in Boston and a weekend in Colorado. But I’m back and diving back into music. At work, I’m sequencing a musical for Desert Stages, as well as arranging some common hymns and continuing to plow through the Messiah for Spiritrax.

Bad Cactus has had two successful gigs, and is booking events for the fall and 2010, as well as planning a record. I’ve also been playing with the Sugarthieves most Wednesdays, and hitting jam sessions when I get the chance.

In composing, I’m finishing up “Got Milk?” with director Chris Redish, and looking forward to working on the new episode of “Stand Up Guy.”
