Hello Songminers!  I'm excited to be down at Irvine with a whole bunch of other folkaholics, strumming and networking our little (and not so little) buns off.  It's The Folk Alliance Far West Conference and it is populated by some of the finest folk in the west.  I don't perform till tomorrow so I'm just soaking in the sounds and making the rounds.  What a great group of talented people all doing what they love, for the love of it.  I'll check in again with you tomorrow or before the weekend is over--maybe have a video of me playing or pix from the event.
