Summer!

Ah, summer. Here it is. Baseball, watermelon, and sweating.

Work on my next album, "Songs for Quirky," is nearly complete. I plan to include 16 songs on the upcoming record. I'm not sure when it will be available, but I hope to have the CD out by the end of September.

Today I checked out the folk festival on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The featured regions this year are rural Virginia, Northern Ireland, and Mekong. Aside from the oppressive heat, the event was outstanding. My kids dug the Vietnamese Dragon Dance Team and the Freer Art Museum's air conditioning.

Next post: Who knows? Enjoy the season!
