Spanish Solo tour in January, followed by the Untamed Youth playing at the Rockin' Race Jamboree festival in Spain in early February! I can't wait to come back to one of my favorite countries on the planet. LET'S ROCK! Thanks to Gerardo from FOLC Records/Booking and my friend Francisco Santelices!

Very sad to read that Steve Cropper has passed. He co-wrote songs like "In The Midnight Hour," and "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay," so he was one of the few guitarists that could live high on the hog--big house, nice cars, no need to worry about next month's bills. Good for him. A life well-lived.
