well--- at long last i have finally got the 2 solo cds edited- and ready for cdbaby! the cds should hopefully be available online by january 2008. i have spent the past several days editing the cds- choosing the songs for each by genre- and designing the inserts and labels, etc. these songs having been unreleased since i recorded them, although some were on "living the blues" on a german label [out of print]- and some were on cassettes i had made and sold at the club when working on bourbon street. but now, thanks to technology and cdbaby, they will finally come out...to the world... almost 20 years later. i have chosen to put most of the blues/louisiana type stuff on "louisiana" and the more cabaret-ish ballad stuff on "cabaret vieux carre" ... the foto is from the time of the recordings: 1988-1992. a page with more fotos and info will be on my website as soon as the cds are online.
some samples are on the song titles below- click to hear them!
