And finally, I hate plugging my own stuff, but I have finished my children’s album. It’s called “SMILE” (11 songs) I’ve tested them on my own kids (ages 4 and 2) and they have given it the thumbs up. So look for this sometime in May or June. I will do a limited run on vinyl just for those collector nerds. So some thing small like 100 copies will be going out.
And that’s it folks. Be well. Smile big.
peace, mike park
