I wrote an article for my Marathon & the Middle Florida Keys Magazine about our 50 years of launching people into space – it can be read on my Blog page.


Additionally, it can be seen as it appeared on pages 14-15 with color photos from NASA at: http://floridakeysmagazines.com


In recognition of today’s final flight of Atlantis, as well as all those associated with the space program for the past half-century, my tribute to the Challenger (and Columbia and Apollo 1) astronauts, “Dawn’s Early Light,” will be available as a free download for a limited time. Find it on the Music page.

In every sense of the word, he was a Big Man, and the world is a lesser place as of his passing. I'm just glad I got to know him a little and jam with him that memorable evening a few years ago. My condolences to his extended family and his friends worldwide. Rest in peace, Big Man.

Christian Davis’ life on the mainland has finally progressed to the point that he’s too busy to make it down to the Keys on a regular basis (and that’s a good thing!). Veteran drummer (and my friend and partner in crime) Glenn Faast and I are proud to welcome new bassist Jason Poff to the band! Jason has worked with some of the greats in his relatively long career (for such a young guy), and you can find out more about him by clicking on the Bio page. Keyboard man (and solo entertainer) Chris Thomas will join us for the larger festivals like the upcoming Seafood Festival. Help welcome Jason to the band at the Seafood Fest or any of our upcoming Storm Watch shows!

It’s hard to believe that this Saturday is Christmas, and we’ve only got a week and a half left in 2010! I hope this finds you in good health, and that your holidays are truly happy and that your new year of 2011 will be your best yet (with many more to come). Here in the Keys, we’re expecting a partly cloudy Christmas with highs of 75. Then another cold front comes through. When you’re not used to it, 50 is C-O-L-D.
