My new song "Subway Sparrow" got lots of good brownie points this week for landing me a spot at the Susquehanna Festival songwriting contest finals in Maryland in May, as well as a runner up prize at www.songwriteruniverse.com. Excellent work, song.

I'm going to try to turn the trip down to Maryland into a tour - seeing some family and travel a bit - which I’ve been missing over the Winter. Cross your fingers for me on the Friday night - the winner of the Finals plays the festival mainstage on Saturday.
