zentertainmentnetwork.com LET US KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP TO?

The idea for this network emerged in December of 2008 and was launched on January 2nd or 3rd. While I do not recall the exact day of launch, I do recall launching it---I was passionate about this and also packing boxes to move to Florida. It was not easy to take my life's work and passions and pack the remnants of them into boxes marked "Office, A" "Office B" "Bedroom" "Clothing--take of 30 pounds" and the like. The last mentioned of the boxes was my least favorite of them. But I had a mission… Continue

Oktoberfest and some shows should be quite a hoot. In the meantime I am getting back into the studio with Threeleggeddog over the next few weeks to record some new numbers. I'm… Continue
