West University Methodist Church has invited me to perform in the last of six concerts that they organized this year to celebrate the renovation of their sanctuary and the installation of a new pipe organ. It is a wonderful concert space, and the instrument is amazing.

This week I finished a new song. Two very rough (think Colorado River in violent spring) demos of the song are available, one with piano and one with guitar. The piano one is slightly less apocalyptically cacophonous than the guitar one.
I’ve also posted new demos of three of my earlier songs:

On Friday my team at work gave the go-ahead to release version 7.1 of our product suite. This was my first release since joining the company, and it’s nice to have it behind me.
