tree music is my business

It's official. "tree music" is a business. I registered it today for $16.24 at the state office. So, I guess that means I'm no longer unemployed.

spelling trē

"trē" is how the "tree" in "tree music" is supposed to be spelled. However, the macron ( that little line over the "e" ) is not a recognized font on the American type pad. You can download various typepads which support this character, but some browsers and most websites still would not display the font properly. This has been a constant barrier and the main reason for the change of spelling. "trē" is the project name ( band name ) that was used to represent my music over the last several years. That spelling will still be used when possible, however "tree music" is now the official registered company name, or label if you will. For confusion sake, tremusic.com , treemusic.net, and tremusic.org all forward into treemusic.org...so don't worry about having to remember which is which.

Kerrville Review

How does someone describe the Kerrville Folk Festival to someone who wasn't there ? You can't.

Delete me from Myspace

I tried to delete my old MySpace page, but all it did was block me from logging in to my page ( which is still viewable to others ). After searching the FAQ section of their site, being that there is no customer service line, I read that in order to properly and completely remove an account, a user has to send in a self-photo with a sign that includes their username. I did that, but haven't heard back. Please do not try to contact me through MySpace. I won't get your message. Contact me through treemusic.org only. Thanks.

The "Meth Mobile" has been sold

The meth mobile ( it runs on methane ! ) has been sold to Texas Community Project, the non-profit in Austin where I used to work. Texas Community Project ( TCP ) will use the meth mobile to shuttle crews of activists out daily to organize voting precincts about important issues ranging from clean air to mass transit and bicycle infrastructure.

The meth mobile, which runs on natural gas, served me well for the last four years as a touring vehicle, and as far as I know, is the only vehicle of its kind to travel accross country, solely on natural gas ( without running out ).

It will be missed, but I am glad it's in good hands.
