Unfortunately, homelessness for our U.S. Veterans of all wars is at a crises level right now. A group of former veterans have created a non-profit organization called Voices United for Veterans that provides three important ideas. First, it eloquently and precisely describes the terrible financial situation that too many of our veterans find themselves in today. Secondly, the website provides a place where similar out-reach groups can advertise upcoming events to help raise money that goes directly to programs designed to help our veterans who may need help. And third, it's a place to donate the non-profit organization Voices United for Veterans. I am proud to be involved in this organization as well. I've donated two of my songs off of my current CD "Child Indigo"; "Too Young To Sing The Blues" and "You Go On" as digital downloads for the organization to give to donors at the time of their donations to the program.

It's a great honor to be selected as one of the 18 artists on this compilation CD that features the great Steve Earle and a selection from his new CD "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive". The title of his CD is taken from one of Hank Williams songs that was released right when he died. The track Steve Earle has on the compilation is "Every Part Of Me", which is an excellent love song to his wife. The other artists on this CD are all incredible as well, it's really quite a blend of roots music. It was release by Poetman Records in Lexington Kentucky to over 1,300 radio stations all over the world. My song "A survivor" is the last track, #18. It's a song for anyone out there surviving anything; in my case the inspiration is surviving cancer now for seven years.
I will be getting interviewed by Vinny "Bond" Marini of the Blog/Radio show he has called Music On The Couch this coming Monday, June 13th, 2011 at 10:00 EST. I guess he has some questions for me and will be playing a couple of my songs.

It's the night before the big gig. The band had it's last practice tonight. I think we're ready. I think we intentionally had a bad rehearsal because we're all superstitious. Need I say more on the subject. We got a little blurb on us in the Main section of the Gazette (the local Newspaper) about the show. We've got some surprises and we're looking forward to the show and having some fun.
