Well, I thought I was back, but the rest of August was hectic too.  On a sad note, an old high school friend was killed in a motorcycle accident (collided with a Seattle city bus), and two weeks later my 26 year old nephew died ; stabbed in a parking lot in broad daylight in a Tacoma, WA suburb, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two small children. So, August started extra happy with a wedding but ended extra sad with a funeral.

As for music, had 3 gigs in the last 4 weeks; The first was with Soulstice (7 piece classic rock band) at a Winery dinner. Mostly electric guitar but i used the violin on "Landslide" (Fleetwood Mac)

Then with the blues/jazz/eclectic trio, Borderline Blue,  played at a Winery and a week later at a CiderHouse (like a beer brew pub only hard cider). In those I played mostly electric guitar but violin on Amarillo By Morning, Evil Ways (Santana) , and Tennessee Waltz.  No video, but I have a 16 multitrack audio recording of all three gigs, recorded on a Cymatic Audio LR-16 Live Recorder‎ connected to the mixer. If I get the time to extract the songs with violin and mix them down into stereo tracks, maybe i will post them.  I am back to working on Black Water (Doobie Brothers). When its ready I'll video it for all y'all.   

And, last week I celebrated my 60th birthday (Some Scotch was involved)  (thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes, Toni @coolpinkone ). I still feel like a youngster of 59, though.
