Happy New Year!!!  I hope this finds you all happy and healthy and over the whole freaking holiday season.  Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely one of the best Christmas/New Years I’ve had in ages – and I’m quite thankful – but GOD!  It started at Halloween??  No, Summer?  Yeah.  Done with it.  And I still have this TREE to contend with!  Anywho…Welcome to the insanity that I believe will be 2012!It’s been fairly quiet the last week.  I managed to check out my friends, Reckless Abandon (who were terrific!), at Center Station in Berlin.  Had pictures too.  I have the sneaking suspicion tequila was involved that night.  No idea what happened to those frames.  Sorry, Sean and Christine.  I suck.  Moving on.

We also had the pleasure of assisting with the live announcements of the bands and artists who will be part of SWAN Day CT 2012 – the 5^th Anniversary edition with Jennifer Hill on Scene Queen lsg.  It was an honor to be involved and the talent Jen has lined up this year is the best ever!  Congrats to her.  The full line up is listed below.  Please take time to check out the band web sites, Facebook pages, videos, etc.  And if you like what you see and hear…Please contribute to helping put the show on.  Go to the official SWAN Day CT page and click on “donate”.  You’ll be part of CT music history.  I promise!  —–à (http://www.swandayct.com/)
