January 23rd. - Recording the second half of the Randy Newman Tribute

I'm excited to report that 'The Randy Newman' Project had great shows for APAP Weekend!  Thanks to
Mark Soskin, Sara Caswell, (Curtis Stewart for subbing for Sara at the Hilton Show), Tim Horner taking the drum chair (great job), Dean Johnson (everyone needs a Dean Johnson on bass) and Steve Cardenas on guitar, has been very cool to know musically - great job at the Bitter End show guys.
   We are coming down the home stretch with this amazing music.  Mark and Sara worked on the string parts thursday afternoon and I'm practicing hard and I can't wait for the finish this coming saturday.
Stay Tuned.
