Thanks to Anthony Mariani of the Fort Worth Weekly for his review of my CD, "What Stands Between the People" in the November 5th issue. This was totally unexpected. See pg.35 ("Return to Forever...Again?") or click on the hyperlink below. Thanks also to all the people I've met along the way that keep me going & able to do what I do.

My wife and I traveled to Ireland in March 2002 for our 10th anniversary. We stayed at The Clarence Hotel in Dublin which is owned by Bono & The Edge of U2. We were fortunate enough to meet them at the hotel & get autographs! The autographs were signed on coasters from the hotel bar. Meeting them both was the highlight of our trip. Although we are planning a return trip to Ireland, I don't think it could get any better than this but then again, you never know what can happen! We certainly didn't count on seeing them during our 2002 trip so maybe our next trip will be even better and I will have something else for the web site!
