I'm also very excited to tell you about a new band we've started here in Nashville. We're an acoustic/electric trio and our name is Crowding 50. Michael Mason Bromley sings lead and plays guitar, Ed Cain is on the stand up bass, and I'm playing my instruments, switching around on harmonica, fiddle, mandolin and acoustic guitar. You can visit our new web site here: Crowding 50

A few weeks ago we recorded 4 songs in Michael Holmes studio and had the good fortune to be the subject of a video shoot by the multi talented David Alan Loy. You can now watch these Crowding 50 videos up on Youtube, 2 of the songs we recorded and an interview type segment of the 3 of us talking about our history together. You can even rate the videos if you'd like and leave comments after you've watched them. This is a direct link to one of the songs that Michael wrote entitled, "Dickson County Line" Hope you enjoy 'cause we had a ball recording it and thank you David. Much more about Crowding 50 coming your way soon!

I'm also a columnist for MusesMuse.com which is a very cool songwriter website presided over by Jodi Krangle in Canada. Thank You Jodi! Also you can now read the emag for which I am a columnist. It's called Muse Revolution and I have 2 columns, one of which is entitled, "Legends"and my current interview there is with Reggie Young. My second is called, "Behind The Scenes", and this issue is my interview with Steve Hinson
