<p>Mark Swanson builds unique instruments.  One is a stubby looking guitar he calls the 'Fat Boy'.  After a month long email conversation about guitars and performing, Mark &amp; I have come to an agreement, and I'm soon to be on his 'artist list'.  I take delivery of a double soundhole Redwood/Rosewood Fat Boy on Friday.  You can check out his work on www.markswansonmusic.com.  I'll post an update on the Fat Boy once I've had a chance to get acquainted with it.  Stay tuned.</p>

<p>I've just taken delivery of two (2) new guitars from Jason Harshbarger at Highland Strings.  They are exquisite !!  I'll post photos soon.  If you are a guitar player who likes 'creative' and loves 'tone', then you need to check out Jason's instruments (www.highlandstrings.com).  I can't wait for him to build me another one (please don't let Dory hear me say this).  :-)  Really wonderful guitars.  Wait until you see them.  I cannot wait to use them in the studio.</p>

<p>Spring-like weather has finally arrived and I've got 'summer fever'.
I'll be working diligently to get one of my two CD's duplicated and released over the next couple months.  I'm currently stuck in the graphics phase, but there is light at the end (I can see it).
I'm beginning to perform a new song that both Dory &amp; I really like.  I hope to play it for you soon.

<p>My CD's have been mastered (that's right, CD's - two of them), and the next step is to decide on packaging and begin the artwork phase.  My son Ian (Graphic Design student) will be helping we with the art visuals.  I'm pleased with the music and I can't wait for actual release early next year.  I'll keep posting updates
Note:  My original intent was for one 12-14 song CD, but after recording eight songs in October, and realizing that I had already recorded 10, that maybe two CD's would be better than one…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/news/blog/6080627/cd-project-s-happening">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>I've just spent the most wonderful day recording eight new songs at Master View Recording Studio in Dryden, NY with the incredible Peter Hopper.  It has been just a phenomenal day !  I can't wait to have the songs mastered and the CD project completed.  Our target date is around the first of the year.  I'm so excited.  I'll keep everyone posted with any &amp; all updates.</p>

<p>Hey Folks !  I'm back to MasterView Studio in Ithaca, NY later this month to continue work on my CD project with Peter Hopper.  I'll keep you updated on my progress.  This inaugural CD will be just me and my guitar(s) performing as if I were in a Coffee House or your living room.  To make the recordings sound live, I'll leave in the occasional goof.  I figure its only fair since I make goofs all the time while playing live.  I might as well make this 'Studio Live' CD as realistic as possible.  :-)  Stay…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/news/blog/6080625/heading-to-the-recording-studio">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>The Coffee Table's Grand Opening celebration (Sept. 1-9, 2006) was GREAT !  Todd performed both Friday, Sept. 1st and Saturday, Sept. 2nd to a packed house.  Marty Hogan (owner) was ecstatic with the turn-out and has decided to make music a regular part of his business.  Watch for future dates at The Coffee Table (Frederick, MD).</p>
