2010-04-11: New Website Design, New Sessions, New Baseball Project Song

Yes, there is a theme of the "NEW" here as I get ready to leave New York (ring in the new, ring out the new) to begin a new record with the Miracle 3, our first together in five years. Jason, Linda, Dave and I are going to Richmond, Virginia where we'll be working with Bruce Olsen who was at the helm for both Gutterball records. A fine, greasy record as well as tales of BBQ and soul food will surely follow.

But in the meantime, may I draw your attention to the new design of my website (www.stevewynn.net). Lots of new features to go with the new look so check it out, have fun, kick the tires, take it out on the open highway and have some fun. Many thanks to the incredible Wonder at WONDERKNACK for the design and to Daneane Gallardo at RexRuff Web Site Construction for putting all the pieces in place and making it all work with the clean precision of 1959 Fender Princeton amplifier (trust me, that's good).

And while we're at this whole NEW theme, check out the second installment of the Broadside Ballads, the once-a-month song series that The Baseball Project is doing for the ESPN website-click on www.espn.go.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=5053976 and see why Scott McCaughey thinks this could be the year that the Chicago Cubs end their 100+ year drought. Hmmm, not sure if I agree but I was happy to chime in on guitar and vocals (if you play those vocals backwards they say "My money's on the Yankees.")

And new shows? There are a few of those as well-I'll be traveling in various musical forms to New Haven, Atlanta, Portland, Seattle and Norway in the coming months (now, there's some interesting routing) so check the website for details.

But enough of the new. I'm going to kick back with an Old Fashioned, pop in a DVD of "Old Yeller" and maybe head downtown to check out a Claes Oldenberg exhibit. You've got to go back to the old favorites now and then, after all. See you all soon.
