Wind Cries Mary

My good friend Michael Kent Smith has been in Houston these last few days and I've been showing him around. He's from Chicago and is touring thru the sourthern states. We met while performing at the Zihuatanejo Intl. Guitar Festival (Mexico) in March. He's a fantastic guitarist and it's been great having him in Houston. We had a gig at a church in Rosenberg, Texas on Sunday evening - very well rec'd. We plan on doing some recording later today. We'll also perform this Wednesday with Kelly Lancaster at a wine bar nearby.

Had an opportunity to check out Jamie Cullum last night as well. He's a fantastic new artist on the scene. He plays piano and tours with his band. If you see his show announcements in your city, I highly recommend checking him out. One of the highlights of his set was "Wind Cries Mary" by Hendrix!
