Fall is here in northeast Georgia and the leaves are beautiful.
Hope everyone is well. I'm hoping to get home soon, Philip

The Builders of Marsh Mill

I had a post a while back about Marsh Mill in Thornton that featured a photograph taken by Pete Skinner of Blackpool. Last week I recorded a video using my song about Marsh Mill. It's on "youtube" and can be accessed by clicking on the title of this post. Please check it out, Philip

P.S. Thanks to Tamara and Pat for all your encouragement.

England Trip

Just recently I was contacted by cousins from New Zealand and Scotland and suddenly I feel the need to spend some time in England. I have friends to see in Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Blackpool. I have an uncle in Lowestoft, plus my brother and sister and their families. I may also take a trip to New Zealand, something I had always planned to do but never followed up on.
In the meantime I am staying busy with quite a few new venues in my schedule.

Canyon Road

Hello everyone in the Fylde and other parts of the U.K. Well at last the new album is here. This is the second New Mexico album and features some of my favourite musicians including Glen Duncan fiddle, Charlie McCoy harmonica, Dennis Wage piano, Dow Tomlin bass, Wayne Killius drums, and Scotty Sanders on steel guitar. It includes songs about the D.H. Lawrence ranch in Taos and a song about Edward Abbey and how his friends handled his demise. This album was recorded at Omnisound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. It will soon be available from CDbaby, I-tunes, and a host of other web music sites.

I am working on a second English folk album and have about half of the songs written. Hopefully before the end of the year I will have it ready. More soon......

A Very Happy New Year to all

I want to wish all my friends and family in England a Happy and Prosperous New Year. I keep trying to come over for a visit but scheduling always seems to get in the way. On January, 1st I'm going to Nashville to record the next album.

A BIG HELLO to Jimmy and Sandy, also to Bill Robinson from the Dolphin Bar. We had some great times there, especially at Christmas and New Year. Hope to see you all soon....
