Allen Singer has written a review of "Water, Weeds and Ghosts" for the February 2009 issue of the San Diego Troubadour. It can be read on the Troubadour's website, www.SanDiegoTroubadour.com. No matter whether you think you'd like this collection or not, the review is worth reading for its creativity. Thank you so much, Allen. Your story is such fun, besides being a work of art in its own right. And thank you, Liz and Kent, for giving San Diego the Troubadour in the first place! We had a great time in November at the annual Western Music Association Festival in Albuquerque. We had thought that "Ghosts of Tombstone" might even have a chance to win Traditional Album of the Year, since so many of our nominations were related to that CD. But the award went to R.W. Hampton with his concept album about Oklahoma. His back-up 'band' was a 50 piece orchestra! Well, we knew the competition would be tough! Congratulations to R.W. and all the other 2008 award winners! It was great to see and hear all the performers.
Our recent trips in January 2009 to play at the Folklore Preserve and in February 2009 for the Cochise Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering took us back to Southern Arizona - a magic place with all kinds of great attractions and wonderful people. Both these venues are put on by committees of volunteers who succeed in doing a superb job of organizing their events for the enjoyment of audiences and performers alike. We feel so lucky to have the opportunity to play in the Sierra Vista area and to have met so many of these fine, fine people! Thank you, everyone.
