It WAS, IS, and WILL BE a very good year...
Singing, loving, being. And you?

I'm celebrating the continuing success of the 12 Minutes of Christmas from inside the Human Snow Globe.
Middle Tennessee's main newspaper from Nashville, The Tennessean, ran a front page photo of me in the globe and put a wonderful slide show on the web that I want to share with you:

The local TV news also caught me singing at the Nashville International Airport -- one of the goofier venues I've ever played. (I do have some video of hapless travelers being confronted by me tossing fake snow around while singing like a Vienna choir boy).

Nashville is a wonderful place to live and work. I also sing in choirs (Serbian Orthodox church, Vanderbilt Community Chorus) and have been working on other musical projects to supplement the snow globe -- in the meantime it's great to be known as "The Bubble Guy".

Sabine has opened a gallery and coffee bar at the Scarritt-Bennett Center called Gallery F and has helped to create alliances with the art community here, which is growing, so we will continue to expand our artistic endeavors as time rolls on.

Keeping it short, though life is infinite,

EXCELLENT TIP FOR ALL: TRICK.CA is a great hosting service from the TELEKOMMUNISTEN, whose work I support strongly. Check it out for good prices on web hosting -- I think they are offering international calling plans as well.
