Your support of this song is very much appreciated.August 30, 2008 First Full Length Album Since '05 Songwriting is complete and will hit the studio in November of this year to record my first full length album since 2005's self-titled debut. First I have to complete a forestry project where we'll be cutting down and burning several trees with dutch elm disease for the provincial government. I'll then have the opportunity to hit the studio. There's no better time than recording your own songs, and it'll be nice to put down the chainsaw for a few weeks and change gears. Maybe have a release date in early 2009, but first things first-- have to get the tracks laid down.
