Hey All, I’m very happy to announce that on Record Store Day 2019 and after nearly two decades of floating in digital space, I finally see the vinyl release of Hanging Out In Heaven. It will be a blue-tinged double record, set with two extra tracks – Queen In Her Jeans and Dressed Up As You. These additional songs were recorded in London around the same time and were always intended for the vinyl version. Hanging Out In Heaven began in LA with Shep Lonsdale, engineer on Starfish and GAF, […]

The monastery, built at the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th century, flourished until the Cistercian monks’ suppression in 1803 and final destruction of the monastery in 1809. The picture, taken by Charly Wulff, reminds me of McDonald and Giles’ lone album cover from 1971 – or perhaps […]
Festival show in Meschede, Germany – Friday, July 20th
Olivia and I will be playing at the Live Am See festival in Meschede tomorrow. “Live Am See” means Live By The Lake because… What will be different from last year? Well, I wanted to play some obscure cover songs (not obscure to me and those that love them) like The Dolphins by Fred Neil and Blues Runs The Game by Jackson C. Frank.
