Writing is fishing—it’s catch and release.  You get a song on the line and then you let it go.  It’s a pretty good metaphor.  I don’t know a songwriter who thinks they were not simply in the right place at the right time, with a cane pole and an afternoon!  Wishing Sky is officially released this week.  These 12 songs were briefly on my hook—maybe they were just swimming by and got tangled up in my net.  Nevertheless, I’ve become quite fond of them, and now it’s time to send them out.  I hope they swim all the way over to you!

I have been doing more shows this season, and having a fantastic time.  It’s great to be back at it.  Thank you for coming out, if you have!  Lots of friends are connecting, and the music is making it’s way to some new places.  Thanks to Lane at The Bugle Boy in LaGrange, Steve at Unity On Greenville in Dallas, Becky at Winter Wind in Norman, and the Belinoskis at the Onion Creek series in Austin.  These venues are beautiful experiences all, with a great listening ethic, wonderful acoustics, and hugely benevolent spirits.

My studio life is full at Blue Rock so I’m picking my moments to step out.  I have a CD release show coming November 18 at the Cactus Cafe in Austin (see shows page).  I would love to see you there.

Fin,

Billy
