This year’s SDCC was a great show for me. We ended up selling out of the preview edition of the new book I’m working on called The Guns of Shadow Valley. The people who checked it out seemed to really like what we had put together. That kind of feedback is always nice.

The rest of the family had a good time, too. There was lots to do for the little ones, surprisingly… I think they liked the Lego booth the best, and getting pictures taken with Superman and other costumed heroes walking around.

I usually sit in the booth playing the ukulele, but this year I brought a banjo. I figured it was more appropriate, what with the western book and all.

More pictures (mostly of the kids) are in the online gallery. (Click here.)

It was great seeing my compatriots again. Until next year!

I’m lucky to have a couple different versions of my “Something About You” song in development. It started out as an acoustic demo and was recently mixed into sort of a music box version.

This latest version below is sort of a Parisian mix, featuring Lonnie Wilson on upright bass and Rick Berls on drums and a French musette.

Which version do you like best?

Lately I’ve been really enjoying working with other musicians over at kompoz.com, revisiting some of my earlier songs to see if I could get them from rough demos to sounding like polished tracks.

My latest project is “Something About You” which now has piano and cello parts by Peter Rand from the UK. I think it’s so cool that I can upload my recording and then someone from halfway around the world gets to add their own accompaniment to it.

The original version I recorded a year ago is linked right here (click!), and below is the new stereo mix. More parts may get added and more mixes may be forthcoming, but is where it is right now.

I’d like to know what you think. Is this an improvement over the original?
