Sunny Santa Monica

I regretfully watched Chattanooga get smaller and smaller out the jet window Monday as I began the the journey to Los Angeles. We're staying in a nice hotel in Santa Monica this time which is within reasonable walking distance from the Santa Monica pier and the Promenade shopping district.

I spent the entire jet ride as well as the rest of the day Monday cleaning up my email list so I could send out the 'Hammer On!' announcement. Most of you should have gotten it by now. I had to send it from my Sprint account since I'm on the road. Apparently Sprint wasn't able to handle the volume of mail, and after an hour on the phone with tech support this morning I still can't receive mail at my danlandrum@sprintpcs.com address. If you tried to respond to the email I sent you, please resend your email to my dan@danlandrum.com address.

For those of you who only lurk on this web site and have never gotten on my mailing list I'd like to invite you to go to my music page and listen to a few samples from the new 'Hammer On!' CD. I love it and hope you will too.

I think I've just about finished with the whirlwind of tasks surrounding this CD which has taken up way to much of my time lately. I owe so much to my wife Angie for her patience while I spent most of my 4 days at home finishing this project. She's also the one who takes care of promptly sending your CDs when you order them from this web site. I hope she's going to be really busy for the next few days.

If you're planning to attend the buffet get together in Las Vegas please bring any of my CDs you've purchased so I can sign them for you!

While I was home I was able to slip in a couple of hikes and attend the birthday party of the beautiful miss Adel Pritchard who is now one year old. Adel is the daughter of our friends Ken and Carla.

I'm posting pictures again so don't forget to check out the Photographs link on this page from time to time. I thought would be fun include a short video of walking across one of the bridges on the Signal Point hike, I wasn't pepared for what was about to happen. Check it out through the Photographs link and keep your eye out for a very large wet leaf.

Thanks to my friend Philip Luckey for sending along the picture of me and Adel.

This afternoon it's back to rehearsal in Sony's Culver City Studio. I think we'll get a chance to see the new staging today as well. It should be fun. ¶ 1:23 PM
