Happy 2008... and
best of tidings to you and yours. Here
we are… Winter, 2008. Spring… however,
is in the air. It's been a cold one
here on the central West Coast… and some might
not guess that it's California, what with the weather
conditions we are experiencing.
 2007
was a great year musically. I was able
to really put in some time with "Five Eyed Hand" and
write new songs for my solo projects and the band alike.
Also, working with "5EH" has been an excellent
collaboration as we put our heads and create new
tunes as a team. Thanks to Jeb, Chris, and Mikey
for that. You guys rock.
2008 has many adventures in store for
this 'almost' 40-year-old's idealistic singer/songwriters
musical pursuit, and I'm glad to have your support. For
2007 it was fantastic to immerse myself in the Bay Area
Music Scene and enjoy working alongside, both as a solo
player and with "Five Eyed Hand", such great
performers and groups such as Hot
Buttered Rum,
Scott Law and Tye North, Garaj
Mahal, The
Dave Stein Bubhub,
The Mermen,
Deadwood
Revival,
Izabella,
Kanvus,
Seconds
on End, Paul
Grove,
Byron
Space Circus,
Steve Hunt, and ESPECIALLY my most excellent
friend and soul brother Dave Grove.
Also… I think it's important
to name some extremely supportive people who've helped
many musical efforts of my solo 'thing' and 5EH's
during 2007. This list includes, but is not
limited to, amazing and SUPER talented web designer
Kathy Chan, my Parents, amazing Artist Tony
Copolillo (creator of the Five Eyed Hand logo), my
brother John Bodkin, Mike and Valeri Marler  , Tom
Miller, Kimberley and Dan Bermender, Stacy and Phil
Kalstrom, Nat Keefe, Dan Raeihle, Bret Bailey,
Tracy Sheehan, KPIG's Arden Eaton and Sleepy John,
Michael "Penguin" Pegram, Jess and
KC, Sue Weiand, Bill Ward, Bret Scheinfeld, Terri
and Dave Stein, Beth Castroll, Steve Tighe, Brian
Vandermark, Ryan Vandenbroeck, Bridget and Ian Haworth,
Laurel Henderson, Dave and Monica, Andy Harmon, Erin
Stewart, Billy and Shannon Lloyd, "Wherebear",
Kiera Condrey, Dean McDaniel, David Scheel, and especially… MOST
especially the amazing, supportive, patient, and
lovely Randi "Randiroze" Motson. There
are so many others to thank, but I sound like I'm
accepting a Grammy. Suffice it to say, I'm grateful
for such selfless musical support from the Bay Area
Music scene! Thank you!
