I’m posting a live journal! It’s been far to long and I’ve been meaning to post on this archaic site. Well, here’s the scoop.

We just about completed part one (with the ( Read more... )

Ok, I’m back to discussing about Real Love. It’s been far too long. I’ve been torn away from Real Love, focusing all my energy on Sculpterra. I always thought that could become a reality but I never wanted to believe it. I miss music a lot, almost as much as I miss Kevin (who is still working hard in Alaska.) Sometimes I find myself remembering ( Read more... )

It's looking and feeling like spring time in good old Paso Robles. This time of year I’m busy with bottling new wines to be released. It’s like releasing an album, you need to hype up the wines and get the wine club excited to try them. Bottling is super hectic, in involves lots of little things to get in place as well as lots of arranging. ( Read more... )

Oh My Land has started up the recording process once again. We have been working on and off on the 18-song epic called, “The Mayflower Twins.” It’s been hard squeezing in recording time with the differences of all our working schedules.

It’s time for an Oh My Land recording update. This week Patrick, Nolan and I are working on recording acoustic guitar for all 18 songs on the Mayflower Twins album. Were taking our time on this album to insure that we get the cleanest and best sounding recording we can. Tuesday night we recorded all acoustic guitar for the first 9 songs, or the ( Read more... )
