In January I plan to start recording a new CD titled Songs from The Gate of Beautiful, the book I published last February. The book include lyrics and commentary on eleven of the gospel songs I've written and from the beginning I planned to do a companion CD of the book. I've made friends with someone who lives about six blocks from our house who has a recording studio and is anxious to get started. He'll charge a very modest fee, and I hope to get my friends from my gospel quartet, The Gospel Messengers, to sing harmony on some of the songs. At the same time, I'm reviving my moribund folk music "career," and am looking forward to getting back on the road doing folk concerts.

I think it will be a good year.
