a new beginning

I'm beginning to blog.  While I was working through having a brain tumor, I found that blogging about it kept me focused.  Two years later, I'm still kicking and, in some ways, I've never been as good as I am now.  So, I've named this News and Not News because I plan to use this area to announce things that are going on in my life that are new, like my joining The Steamcats of Sekonza.  My performances will still appear on the gig calendar.  But I also plan to post the occasional rant or rave or other such musing.  Perhaps I'll find some new or new-to-me music and so I'll post it here.  OK, I'm beginning to get long winded, so I'll let you off the hook now. :D
