The sun is setting as I sit out on my porch. Torre is lying on the planks, basking in the final rays of sun. Op! Here comes Tiziano too. It's warm outside, but this has been a mild summer. I almost miss the Texas heat, but I think I've made the best of it as I did last week, falling into the waters of Pedernales Falls. But for now, I've a lot to do. In fact, I have two CDs in the works. TWO CDS? YOU JUST FINISHED ONE!
But didn't I also mention earlier this year that I have a LOT of CDs planned this year? And this one... wow! I'm REALLY excited it, because the album is something different. It's called "A Tribute to Love", and it's not your typical love CD. Instead of just love songs, the album is an expression of an idea. It sounds nothing like anything I've ever done before. It feautres songs and ideas about the many types of love, some sweet and loving, some comical, some touching, some heartwrenching, some sad. Love is all of that, and I hope I might touch on a small piece of that beauty and magic in this album. - Help Bring More Love into the World While I finish mixing and mastering this CD, Andrew is finishing a new Live CD of the Brobdingnagian Bards. To celebrate that new album which will be officially available in about a month, I setup a new website to highlight other live bootleg recordings that we make at BardBootlegs.com. You can download copies of a few past shows, all broken into nice convienent MP3s to listen and share. FIREFLY, CD REVIEWS, AND OTHER NOTES I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the last issue of the Musings. My song "She Said Her Name Was Saffron" was up in a stiff competition for the popular vote. And I pulled in a close second. After the competition closed, they asked if they could add my song to a compilation CD benefitting Equality Now. Of course, I'm all over that. What a great honor! I'll tell let you know when this Firefly CD is done. Oh! And I almost forgot! Today's poem features one of the songs from "A Tribute to Love!". I finished mixing most of the songs. I have some nearly finished recordings that I posted on SoundClick. So you can now listen to many of the songs on the album before I even release the final CD. - Listen to "A Tribute to Love!" ---
