Dearest reader, I am still out here.  So many things have happening for the past month that have prevented me from working on music!  I have now officially moved to Aliso Viejo, California, and I am digging my way out of all the boxes and debris.  The majority of my instruments still need to be retrieved from a friend's closet.  It's quite discouraging, but I should have my act together in the next couple of weeks.  It's especially concerning to me that I haven't been working on the Gus music, but I talked to him on the phone, and he encouraged me to take my time, take a deep breath, and not worry about it.   More to come!
