December 2006 -- A couple months ago I added a few piano tracks to a new album by local singer/songwriter Christopher Henderson. The album, "The Legend of the Oglethorpe County Ghost Truck and Other Tall Tales," was just reviewed in the Flagpole. The reviewer (who shall remain nameless) complimented the "solid piano groove" on one track and "a gorgeous piano melody that drips with an emotive melancholy" on another. High praise in my mind, but he doesn't give me credit. Oh well. Read the review.
October 2006 -- It's been a while since the last NEWS entry. However, we were just written about as an ABC Pick in the Athens Flagpole. Check it out.
