I know it has been almost a year since my last Traveler Diary, even though I said I was going to post every two weeks . . . So I am trying to make it up to you by bringing you what I think is my best Traveler Diary yet. I have a new camera, a new light, (for those who want to watch the video version on Youtube) and a new guitar rig. And new songs! In April 2020 I posted on my Instagram and on my Facebook page a list of all the cover songs I could perform. This podcast contains all the songs I have added to my list since then. Enjoy. Life has kept me busy, so let me just say right now I can't commit to regular posting, but I am hoping to make some time in my life for more videos and recordings. I actually think taking the obligation away will make me more productive. I have some plans to get a new computer, and finally retire from the world of making burritos. I am really excited for this time in my life. Between teaching lessons and playing shows, I am very close to being a full time artist. This has been a long term goal of mine for over a decade. And it feels sweet to be very close to achieving that dream. A big thank you goes out to everyone who has supported me along the way. Here's to love, life, and art! Safe travels everyone.
