Walking the Walk Adela & I are big supporters of the local food chains that bring you natural, GMO free food. I spent the weekend on my sons farm, nestled in a small community in the foot of the Catskills. We spent the day planting @ 150 tomato plants, and later in the day harvested a dozen or so chickens who had gone past their egg laying days. Living this close to the land aint for everyone, but the connection to the land is clear, and the appreciation for what is important is life runs thro...

Jude took a trip along the lower Catskills this past weekend, driving along some backroad routes through the small towns along southern-central New York.

We really loved going into the studio to record “When I Get Home I’m Gonna Be Satisfied”, written by E.C. Ball for an upcoming NEAF project! We had Dave from the Whiskey Boys on some fiddle and Andrew from Comanchero on Bass. What a treat it was to play with those guys, and you can look forward to some shows with Us playing with a fuller band soon!

It’s almost March, and we are ready to roll…. literally. We decided to let our old little friend Rosie move on, and brought in a new little friend, Maybelle who will now handle our road duties. Just like her namesake - Mother Maybelle is tough and tender, and dressed in black she mcuts a mean profile down the road ( which we expect to be on a lot this season ) - I whole slew of new gems - some dusty old gems, some brand spanking new originals that have yet to see the light of a stage-

People who attend to the homeless in Boston, through the outreach programs, People like Kyla & Deb, who have worked to bring Farm fresh food to the tables of hundreds of people. This weekend - we are blessed to be able to share the stage with two of Alt-Country’s finest songwriters and players; JanetBeveridge Beanand Catherine Irwin - their first release was in 1989, and they ...
