Rain, and lots of it lately. It is difficult for me to complain when we have seen so much drought over the past ten years or so. Hopefully the water tables are recovering nicely. Now if we can just do something about not contaminating them. We can thank Monsanto for their contribution to that problem along with contaminating just about everything we eat. I don't want to get started on all that except to say that I admire what just about every country except the USA has done by banning them and burning their crops in the fields. What is wrong with this picture?? I will stop there for now. Anyway, summer is well underway and it has been pretty hot as well as rainy. I have been busy with everything except booking gigs like I had hoped to be doing. I got an acceptable photo of The Sand Trippers together for a book being written by the assistant music director at Florida Atlantic University. It is a book about surfing in Florida. He wanted to feature us in a chapter about Florida surf music and he pointed out that we were the only band during our era of the 60s that actually surfed, well, three of us did anyway. I thought that was rather unique also. I am going to finally get our record digitized for consideration to be included on a Florida surf music CD being produced by Jamie Cunningham, who is also writing the book The Sand Trippers will be in. The other things that have been consuming a lot of my time lately have been contributing to a couple of Gary Stewart projects. One is a documentary that I will be interviewed for, and the other is recounting the years I spent on the road and just being friends with Gary for a dramatic movie also in the works. So my summer will be very busy between the gigs I can manage to fit in. I am really looking forward to playing more as soon as I can. That is what enjoy more than anything these days. Hope to see you somewhere down the road!!
