We had a great time Friday night at Judy’s record release party held at The Vintage Bar. Her CD, Fiction in Disguise, is a really good piece of work. Friday’s performances were unplugged—her home turf, and she sounded great. By contrast, Fiction’s production has shades of U2, and it rocks!

My buddy Howard opened for Judy, and then he stepped into the band as a sideman for a few tunes after she went on. While it was a thrill to see Judy’s years of work as a singer-songwriter culminate in this record, it was also like a trip back in time to be sitting with old friends listening to Howard as Araceli and I used to do before we got married and had kids.

Another valuable current project is Eric’s Psalms and Hymns, due out early next year.

I’ve got way more than my share of gifted friends who are making important contributions to thinking man’s pop music.
