Tinken' an' Wundren', Mahn

Hi there,

I've been struggling with coming up with any ideas noteworthy enough to post... as well as wondering why anyone would be remotely interested in the topics that I do post... but in the interest of continuity, here comes another one...

I wish I could expound upon the vast amount of new material that the SL Band has been penning, but that would be a farce - we *do* have some new material, but it needs a lot of work. The game plan is (still!) to polish off about 5 new tunes, play a live venue (likely Kelly's Logan House in Wilmington, DE) where we can debut / record those tunes, and release a live album. It is slow-going, but I'm pestering Steve enough to make it happen. In the meantime, Steve is working on creating a "Best Of" album that will be available for download only - more on that as things progress.

Other than that, I'm enjoying the respite of not having any gigs, rehearsals, or study time required this weekend (having just taken the Certified Specialist of Wine exam this week, which required lots of cramming - er, I mean, studying - more on that in my wine blog later). Have taken a trip out to French Creek Ridge today, where we had a nice chat with wine maker Janet Maki (who treated us to some of their most recent Gewürztraminer, which had an excellent nose and a delicate finish).

In closing, I leave you with a picture of Geddy Lee at a wedding (don't ask...):


Cheers!
