2.23.2009 Jen McGrath has taken The Soft Return as a solo project, with me occasionally assisting in production and arrangement for her songs. I'm just too busy to be a full-time member of her project. There is big news, however---

Jenna Ferone and I are going to release a second Beauty's Confusion album, sometime this year. For real! We have half of the songs written from a few years ago and we're excited to come out with a second record, which we always talked about doing. More news on that as we progress...

12.4.08 Been REALLY busy lately with SO much stuff. My good friend Jen McGrath and I are writing and recording music as The Soft Return (our page at myspace). I'm also helping my friend Hadley Stacks record her first CD (her page at myspace).

Aside from the musical progress (which has been, is, and always will be constant), I had vocal cord surgery in late August. It was scary, but a quick surgery and I was sound asleep while it took place. I was unable to speak for a few weeks which made teaching difficult (I used a dry erase board). I'm on the mend, but probably won't be fully 100% for another 6 months or so. Thanks to all who sent well-wishes and special thanks to all the parents of students where I teach music who graciously donated funds for my surgery costs.

Back to art-- a book that my friend Michael W. Dean co-wrote recently came out entitled YouTube: An Insider's Guide To Climbing The Charts. I was technical editor on the book, and it is a GREAT book for all YouTubers... extremely informative and fun to read:


That's about it for now... back to work! Thanks to all of you who continue to support Ousted.
