Up dates January 2008

Justin the multimedia manager and I have been very busy organizing the website and bringing a variety of tracks of songs and performances from the past years up on the Sample page. Also, on the main page is Last Round At the Earth Bar a beautiful piece with Cindy Hellman on vocals, Paul Jensen on guitar, and me Namaya on the narrative.

Blue Heron Pond: Love Song for the Planet is in the very final editing stages. We will probably produce this in a limited run on Cafe Press or another electronic print on demand. Samples will be on the website during the week. Two years in the work!

7 March 2008 a Performance of Benny O'Shea at the Cotton Mill in Brattleboro Vermont. Benny O'Shea is the Jazz Detective story about a cat by the name of Benny O'Shea who meets the Angel of Death. Rain Wilson and Kali Quinn will be dancing in this performance.

This will feature Samirah Evans, Scott Mullett, George Kaye, Cindy Hellmann, Carol Smith, Namaya, Erica Nebbia, & Eric Morgan. It is a fun celebration of the Beat Generation.

Tour of Ireland GOD SEX POLITICS TOUR 2008. Namaya will be playing Ireland 2nd week of September with a small world beat combo. If all goes well we will extend that to England on the 3rd week of September 2008.

Sweet Pond Eco Community - My other huge creative endeavor in 2007 has been the Sweet Pond Eco Community at www.sweetpondecocommunity.com

Hopes, wishes, and anticipations: 2007 had been filled with writing and producing the musical Beatnik Cafe which was received with a generous standing ovation at our first performance we are hoping to feature it in NYC in November 2008 for a limited run at a small theater.

Australia January GOD SEX POLITICS 2009 - If the wind blows right Sydney, Melbourne and stops along the way. And, of course, a few days of the Australian Open. We would like to really stretch that dream and take a tramp steamer from Perth to Yemen and do a GOD SEX POLITICS show in Aden.

If you're going to live life, live it hugely, dream immensely, dare the most imaginative of things to do, be outrageous, kiss a beautiful stranger, act as if the next breath was your very last one but you had the eternity of time to savor it.

Stop whining, make a revolution now!
