The Great Escape........

Back from an awesome weekend !  Went to a place in Ruskin (about 50 minutes from St. Pete) to a resort/getaway destination called Little Harbor Resort.....was there doing a photo shoot for Backline Music Group who presented a weekend Get-a-Way event featuring Michael Tolcher, Michael Paris from O.A.R. and Will Turpin from Collective Soul.  Friday night was a Pre-Concert informal get toghether with the artists for some appetizers and libations, followed by a Saturday night concert on the beach (was great !). After the concert, a VIP party was held with the artists.....Sunday afternoon was a poolside jam/hangout with the artists for a small b-b-q and drinks.....Outstanding weekend.....more to come from the Backline Music Group.....kudos to all !

Goldwing Weekend.....

Just back from a fantastic trip to Vidor, Texas to meet Troy Allan's Mom & Dad ( JoAnn & AV) and pick up Troy's bike. Stopped in Nawlins on the way out for a day...absolutely awesome town ! Continued on to Texas where many hours (and many more could have) been spent with JoAnn & AV. Tried to meet up with Jerry Diaz but didn't work out (next time), stopped in Gulf Shores at Lulu's for a great meal and atmosphere....thanks to all for your support and help ( you know who)...couldn't have done it without you all.....check out my album on my FB page.....
