Getting excited to go back down to Roseburg, Oregon at the end of the month to play with my band, "D. Lee Bruce" at Splitz Bar and Grill on the 29th. Our drummer, Dwight, plays there on a regular basis with his band. The 29th marks their 1-year anniversary of playing there. Dwight wanted to do something special for that weekend, so he suggested that we get together and play.
All of the other members of the band live down there, so I will be the only one "commuting". It's a 6 1/2 hour drive, but very much worth it.
Our last event was in August of last year. It was our 30 year reunion at the Oakridge "Just Us" music festival. That will be an annual event for us. Can't wait for that one, too...

Update
Had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. My middle daughter, Heather and I spent Christmas with my oldest daughter, Mandy and her family. Her husband, Roosevelt, cooked a fantastic Prime Rib dinner. I enjoyed the time with the kids and Roxy, their 70 lb. Boxer. (She's a hoot to wrestle with)
The New Year was brought in quietly with my Daschunds, Boone and Sadie. We always sit and watch the fireworks around the neighborhood. They do great when they can actually see what is making all the loud noises. We spend July 4th the same way.
I'm getting ready (and psyched) to go to Oregon at the end of the month to play with my band again. This time, it will be at Splitz Bar and Grill in Roseburg. (a different venue than in August at the Oakridge "Just Us" music festival). This time, instead of our guitarist, Kurt coming from Hawaii, we will have a very talented picker named Dusty sitting in with us). Along with Toby on keyboards, Jeff on guitar, Frank on bass, Dwight on drums and myself on guitar, we will have a great time playing 2 hours of classic rock and southern rock.

Honu Blu
I had the opportunity to spend some time in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 2007 and 2008. This video is dedicated to the love and spirit of Hawaii, and the friends who helped me feel it.
The video was recorded during an afternoon of snorkeling at Kahaluu.
("Honu" is the Hawaiian word for Sea Turtle)
