ARCHIVED EVENT:
MAR 2 FRI CD RELEASE DAY!
RADIO INTERVIEW! LINKS, LINKS, LINKS!!!
This was the official day of release for my new CD, Ukulele
Crimes.
Downloads are now available at Apple iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.
If you are wondering, the prices for downloading are similar at all three
places, but I get a slightly larger slice of the pie if you download at CD
Baby.
Here are the links to all three enterprises:

There
is a 30 minute radio feature with an interview I did with Cara Lieurance on
WMUK-FM. We chatted about the album, about the ukulele, and played some music
from it. It is archived in full here:

Over at another NPR station, based in Ann Arbor, the album was
reviewed/previewed on the "Stateside with Cynthia Canty" daily show
with her monthly conversation with West Michigan music mag "local
spins" publisher and DJ, John Sinkevics. Here is a link to a
podcast of the interview, with Sinkevics' written review as well:

set from Whitewater -- my good friends Bette & Dean Premo at the helm.
Then I will hold forth in concert, followed by the community square and
contradance. Held at the bible camp just west of Crystal Falls. It is a

APRIL 15 SUN MILWAUKEE WI
House Concert in the city -- 7pm house concert.
I have done many house concerts in Milwaukee at the home of Ann & Will
Schmid. It will be great to be back, this time on a Sunday!
Advance registration required. If you wish to attend, send ANN an email and she
will respond to you with the instructions for invitation, and directions to the
home. Ann was responsible for running the longstanding Wisconsin
Stringalong events, but has retired from that post. Now she invites us to her
living room, and what a wonderful hostess she is! Hope to see you there,
but don't wait till the last minute, as it fills up pretty quick, thus the
advance registration.
