It's February, but you can smell spring in the air...

Work is moving along very well on the studio in the barn in France. Check out some photos here...

Check out some photos of the now past-tense John Street studio here.

I spent an interesting hour recently with Eddie Dickey - we did an interview for his podcast. The interview is up now, and can be accessed here. Eddie found the music from Marginal Street on Magnatune and was kind enough to listen to me wax philosphic without too much laughter.

I was interviewed for an article about Magnatune (see below) that appeared on a website about life in Louisville, Kentucky, just down the road from where I grew up.  You can read it here.

I've discovered an Internet record label called Magnatune (www.magnatune.com) that is doing some really cool stuff.  They've kindly taken Marginal Street onto their site, and we've had a very good response.  Magnatune is in many ways what everyone imagined when online music first began - you can buy a whole CD, or one or two songs, and then download the music then and there.  And, you pay what you think the music is worth.  Their slogan is "We Are Not Evil!", andI have to agree - they're great people.  Stop by and check out the site.

If you're interested in what's happening in and around London in the acoustic world, stop by and check out the Virtually Acoustic web site -- it's a great source for information, reviews, etc. Created and maintained by David Sherwood, of the now reborn Virtually Acoustic Club.  And if you're in or around London, stop by the VAC for the open mic on Wednesday nights.
