Golly, it's been a busy fall season, and I've been doing a lot with work lately, less with music.  But the few music things I have been doing have been very worthwhile.  I've done a couple of house concerts, and I've been working on my next CD release, which is very exciting.  It is a collection of songs about birds, or inspired by birds, and I'm tickled pink with how it is coming together.  This is definitely a very personal project.  Once again, the amazing Ken Kruckenberg is at the helm, and he makes the music sparkle.  A good engineer is worth his/her weight in gold.  I'm in awe of his skills.  The CD will be debuted at a concert/fundraising benefit for Great Salt Lake Audubon, at Holladay United Church of Christ, which is starting to be a favorite venue of mine.
I'm preparing to go to Eugene, Oregon, to attend two conferences next week.  I'm just a wee bit excited, but realized early this week that I didn't have any of my printed materials together.  No post cards, not even business cards.  Yikes.  I was able to throw something together and get it printed, hopefully these will arrive in the mail very soon.  I leave on Sunday for the long drive. 14 hours in a day.  Yeesh.  But I'm not complaining.  I have to get there, somehow, yaknow.
