I finally decided to get my own domain. It's so cheap these days, it amazing.

Check it out. CoolGreenProductions

Nothing too fancy and I am still updating.

Updated FFF tour dates..........

There have been some dates added to the upcoming Five For Fighting tour. A couple shows added within the dates I already posted plus Vancouver. This happens to be our sound engineers home, yes we have a Canadian on our crew. He is a great guy BTW.

I also heard that Curt will not being touring as the bands bass player on this tour. He has been the bass player on the last two CD's and tours. He also helped John with the producing on the latest CD.

If you have seen the band on recent TV or radio festivals, you will be seeing some of the same guys on this tour playing with John. Michael Chaves will be playing guitar. He has previously played with John Mayer. Randy Cooke will be playing drums and Jewel's former bass player will be filling in for Curt. A very talented bunch of guys so along with John you will be getting your money's worth this tour. I would get your tickets early too.

My life is getting back to normal

Today is September 11. Yes, it's been 5 years since the terrorist attack.

This is also another anniversary for me. Today is also the anniversary of the day I closed on my house. It was 5 years ago today. I was on the way to my lawyers office to sign the paper work that morning. A happy and sad day for me.

Well, today was a happy day. I received good news. I will be going back on the road with Five For Fighting. I will be running lights as usual and helping with the backline gear. The crew is doing double duty again.

Really looking forward to this tour. I really like John and the guys. It's always an enjoyable experience touring with them.

In case you do not know the new CD "Two Lights" is in stores.

It's been quite awhile since I've been out on the road. This is the longest since 1990. It's amazing how long time goes by.

Ok....this is kind of strange

I haven't been posting a lot. I have mentioned a couple of artist that are about to begin tours. The strange thing is I have the opportunity to work on either tour.

The one I hope to work is one I have worked in the past.

Five For Fighting dates are being booked now and if things work out I will be out with them again. I toured with them in 2002 and 2004.

I have pictures from the 2004 tour on my website if you are interested.

I probably have jinxed it now.

So here are the dates that have been posted on the website so far.
