Whew!

had a decent concert last saturday...a benefit deal...good cause...sold some cds...met some new people...made them clap, tap their feet, and sing along...a highlight for me.

possibility of another concert at the same place....this time with more financial returns for me...needful...

cleaning out my apartment...amazing how much you can accumulate in 9 months...books you'll never read...a pair of flip flops that didn't work out...a couple of hats you don't need this winter cuz you have 3 more just like them...a bunch of CDs i haven't listened to in years...

having to downsize/whittle away 'stuff' is not always comfortable, but i feel a lil' better afterwards...

will post another tune i 'eeked' out last night...sometime...SOON!

cloudy day thanksgiving...

Rain, clouds, cool weather, gratitude lists, and ukulele music....for these things, todd is thankful.

what's sonny been up to?

man, last few weeks have been a friggin' whirlwind.....
oh well, that's life sometimes...the weather has been mellowing out thank the dear Lord. i'm grateful.

it's funny because i've such music in my bones...such a desire to 'sing out,' but just haven't collected myself to do much of it lately. just too occupied i guess...

here are some things that have been helping me mellow out though: good reading, just noodling around on the uke and guitar, and watchin' old blues videos from the patriarchs of the tradition....

it has been fun for me....what have i been reading lately? tiny tim (the unauthorized biography) amazing book...like a rollercoaster

'the protest singer' an intimate portrait of pete seeger...also very good...very quick though you almost have to slow yourself down on this one...

'the world according to fred rogers,' what can i say? i think he was a beautiful human being

'the doodle dreams of Jim Henson,' pictures are Jim's words are Jim Lewis' (a dude who worked with Jim) great fun!!! and truly thought provoking...for me at least...

well, bye now...







oh...and i've doodlin' a lot too!!!

Continuing....

My Pen still works....






Working on my crooning...

and

peddlin' my wares...

Um, No Mo Go, Go, Go

i've had a pretty exhausting week...at least emotionally so i will be breaking out of necessity for the next lil' while. there's so much i'd like to share with you, but soul-necessity calls.
peace and good to you all.

Paper Dolls

I've been messing with making paper dolls over the last week...great fun!!! this is a disco-esque character :)

charicatures....

i've had a few people ask me to do charicatures of them...ha ha...of course i don't always get a response when i tell them there's a small charge....or if they think i can do 'realist' art when i'm a cartoonist...with a wonky style...
