BLACK SHEEP SEEKS NEW GUITARIST

Unfortunately, due to my current work load, I will not be able to continue as the guitarist for The Black Sheep Blues Band. I wish Tim and John the best. If you are a drummer or guitarist and would like to try out for Black Sheep, go to www.BlackSheepBluesBand.com and drop a note or send an email to Tim@blacksheepbluesband.com.

The live album is still on the way, but due to the passing of family members for a number of parties involved, it has been delayed. I'll let you know when that changes.

SUMMER HOURS

All students who need to change their times for the summer, please let me know as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that if you really feel that you'll want your regular time come September, you may want to keep that same spot for the summer as student population has continued to grow... and grow... and grow...

BACK CATALOG

I am furiously trying to finish up on making all of my releases (Omniverse/The Beginning of Imperfection, The Phoenix Project, Qroozaite Against Sanity, and Sol Journey) as well as Ed's Head available. For those of you that have been asking about it, from PaddyL.com, click "Services & Products", then "CDs and MP3S" for the full, available line. Ed's Head and Omniverse are currently available in both CD and Digital Download formats.

All physical CD sales made through my site (not CD Baby) will include a poster and perhaps even some of my breath as I lovingly hand polish each one before I ship it out. Look for Phoenix to be out in June, QAS in July or August and Sol Journey in August or September.

Sol Journey will include a "best of live" compilation from yours truly including cuts from me with both Bloodline and Black Sheep. The CD version (only available through PaddyL.com) will include far more tracks than the digital release due to the amount of cover songs.

NO SHOWS AT THIS TIME

I'm hoping to get some more lesson material finalized and with what little time is left, I'm going to be doing some writing and recording. With that said, there will be no shows in the forseeable future. If you would like me and my Guitar-E-Okee show for your next function, feel free to give me a call. In the words of Dr. Peter Venkman, "No job is too big, no fee is too big."

Peace, Love, and Hope (for no broken strings),

Sensei Paddy

P.S. I was just thinking how bad my memory is and... um... never mind... what was I saying?

Here's a radio interview with former student Mike Przygoda. I'll let him tell the story:

"Last year while I was on tour with Maggie Walters, I was interviewed by Mike Perazzetti for his show, The Fevered Brain Of Radio Mike which has been very supportive of my music over the last several years by giving it it some airplay.

Most of the interview can be heard here: http://www.thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com"
