All I ever wanted

Back from vacation! We just spent two glorious weeks in Tennessee and North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains, as we did last summer. We hiked steep paths; saw frogs the size of your thumbnail; ate grits; took shelter from a thunderstorm in a 150-year-old cabin; and explored Knoxville's glorious Sunsphere, a treasure with or without the wig store.

Whose space?

Remember MySpace? Well, I've got a music page up on MySpace now, at www.myspace.com/kennethburnsmusic.

That would be music that is my own music, the Kenneth Burns music, as opposed to the music of the various groups I play with. Plain old Kenneth Burns music (except there's nothing plain about it!), including a listing of upcoming gigs. Okay, there's just the one. At the moment.

So check it out. Friend me. Forever.
