Hi everyone. I'm updating the website a little early, before Thanksgiving, since I'm off all week. I hope you have a great holiday time with your families and friends. The good news is that my CD is finished, as far as producing the music goes! I have to finish the artwork in the next two weeks and get it to the manufacturer right after that. I had set a release date for December and even had a date for a release show. However, that got canceled and, in reality, I needed just a little more time. So, at this point, I'm shooting for a January release, depending on where I can get a gig to have a release show/party. Thanks for your patience and encouragement. Thanks to Matt and Chris for letting me use their editing ears on the final mixes. I'll need all the friends I can get at the CD release, so please start spreading the word and watch the website for news on that.

I have been enjoying my Sunday night shows with Rhett and Chris at Spanky's in Prairieville. The owner says he is having trouble affording two musicians (they don't charge a cover) and it might be just me, for now. However, you never know and we'll have to see what happens there. Thanks for coming out and helping us. In December, it will be hard to find me playing. I have private parties almost every weekend. But I do have a few On the Half Shell shows, along with Spanky's on Sundays.

Hey, I decided not to work at the Bulldog this Thanksgiving. I'll be eating and on the road all day long, and it has been pretty slow there the last few years that night. Also, I'll be at the Superdome on Dec. 1st, so I won't be at Spanky's. Check the schedule page for all shows.

In support of friends, check out these bands, gigging all the time:
- Rhett Anthony on Monday nights at the Caterie at 10pm
- Chris and Amanda LeBlanc at the Vineyard on Wednesdays at 8pm
- In New Orleans, John Fohl at Margaritaville on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3pm and playing guitar with Dr. John!
- Debbie Landry at The Press Box on Wednesday nights
- Cam Pyle Band
- Damon King Band
- Stompin' Ground
- Johnny Gossip
- Hip Boot Joe

Can't wait to see James Taylor in December! I hope we'll all be excited about bowl games and playoffs by then. I am so thankful for all the years of support from you folks. I'll get the CD news out very soon and I'll hope to see you all soon.

All the best to you,

Kirk
