I’ve redesigned www.busterandfriends.com. The revamp is long overdue. Despite some changes behind the scenes, the previous design was more than four years old. There’s some new stuff, a few redirects, collation of previously scattered content (including a new Downloads page), and a new banner photo by Julia Healy. I expect the usual usual bugs, typos and teething problems. I welcome comments and error reports: contact me or leave a message below.

thanks: Berkeley and the Ridge

Amber and Murray’s Bonfire (The Ridge) 11-10-11

Quick thanks to Gino Robair for the invite and putting the whole thing together; Tom Duff hosting the show (and providing somewhere for this itinerant musician to crash for the night), John Shiurba for providing the amp, the beer and being a very crafty and generous guitarist; Tim Perkis for the musicality and musings; and Matt Ingalls for injecting high and low frequency noises at exactly the right time. Thanks also to Murray Campbell, Amber Cone, Izzy Goldschneider and Randy McKean for providing one of the oddest quasi-gigs I’ve performed at.

Apologies for the brevity of the acknowledgement, but things are a little crazy right now with the upcoming move to New York… See you on the East Coast!
