I'm taking my son Jordan to St. Louis today to tryout for a spot on the 2007 Missouri Statewars roller hockey team.  If he makes it he'll be playing against teams from every other state to see which state can field the best roller hockey team in the country.  I'll let you all know if he makes it.

Wednesday 5/9/2007 I'm playing music at the Library Center in Springfield, MO.  This event is the annual Civil War round table dinner which is scheduled to run from 6:30 – 9:30 with the Back Porch Players performing for about an hour starting at 7:00.  Home to see you there.

This past weekend was my third time playing music at Old Iron Works Days at Maramec Spring Park in

I've never really been a blogger before today. In fact this is my first blog post of any kind. In order to insure that gusto!'s blogging solution is as good as it can be I will try to write a blog at least once a week. Obviously this is my post for this week. Well it's Labor Day weekend again and I plan on relaxing, spending time with the family, playing some music on the banjo and maybe riding the motorcycle a bit. I'll probably take the family to
