New Happenings

Hi,

As usual I'm getting a bit overloaded. Lauching four new web-sites is challenging! I've entered some detailed info and research on Rene Magritte, one of my art heros on my art-site blog:

Some other news... I'm getting rolling on my next Mel Bay book, Acoustic Guitar Source Book, a collection of old-time and bluegrass songs. It's being engraved and should be out later this year if all goes well.

My blues/old-time/rock band Crossroads is still playing some and I've got a solo gig next week. Things are going better with my teaching at Mom's music.

I'll be writing a few more bluegrass articles later this month for an on-line publication and I'll get back to the Carter Family soon, promise.

Take Care,

Richard

Updated Bluegrass Research

Hello,

I've started 4 web-sites in the last week and altho I'm have a few technical problems with mojoportal operation system now, I've still managed to put a lot of info on my updated site:

http://bluegrassmessengers.com/

Check out my roots section with biographies:

http://bluegrassmessengers.com/roots.aspx

In the biography section there is song research too:

http://bluegrassmessengers.com/original-carter-family-songs--alphabetical-order.aspx

I've got a start on the details of the Carter family songs and will be putting lyrics and song details.

Don't forget about my new bluegrass art site:

That's all for now,

Richard
