I had a fun week playing music and recording. I also enjoyed a few days off. I'm looking forward to the gigs this week! Can't wait to get into the studio next week and start some mixes on the tunes we have been working on for "Carpetbaggers  Back Again". I will also be laying down three new songs I've been working on "Train", "I'm Changing" and "But We Won't".  Thanks for letting me live my dream! Keepin' It Real! -David
