My dear friend Jenn, who I met while playing Asheron’s Call (and is living in Norway) just sent me a most wonderful gift. Her husband took her to a Bel Canto concert last week as a surprise. They managed to get backstage and, thinking of her poor friend overseas, Jenn asked both Anneli and Jils to sign a personal note to me. How cool is that? (Very!) Their music is on my short list of what I would call my “soul” music (no, not that kind). And no, you can’t read it. It’s personal. Ok, so something tells me Anneli’s just teasing when she asks if I’m single…

A few people have asked when the Second Story book was coming out so that they could get one. You can pre-order it now and save a few bucks. The book should be published late spring.
