- I got married to the wonderful Kelli Rule -- photos coming soon;
- I attended the epic Oregon Eclipse Festival, and the Oregon Country Fair, for almost a week each;
- intense heat waves and fires, some of which were creeping alarmingly near to Washougal, made for stressful situations;
- my main project the Hot Club of Hawthorne did a record amount of shows in a month, and is releasing a CD;
- and the Washougal School of Music continued to pick up steam and new students:
- we've had over 25 students, including lots of happy customers; see our testimonials on Facebook;
- we were featured in a lovely article in the Camas/Washougal Post-Record;
- we're developing an equipment loaning library;
- we added ukulele lessons to our services.
I look forward to the winter, when I can get more focused on developing my curriculum, my websites, and my video portfolio. And I'm forcing myself to work on my original material, and home recording, too!
