Running the LA Marathon tomorrow…..why do they always schedule this race on the one weekend a year when it rains in LA? Not looking to set any records, just trying to finish. Speaking of finishing, final touches being put on the next NYCO release. We’re gearing up for a live recording session at the end of the month.

There are plenty of moments on stage that I remember with Dave DelCiello, and I’m often on stage and I think of him. He really loved music, and he was proud to be a part of NYCO. He died way too soon, and I wish I understood how it all happened.

Flying into Chicago yesterday, I was reminded of Dave as I walked through O’Hare airport, through a terminal I’d been through with Dave over four years ago. He had a great sense of humor and we definitely had some great times together. I still don’t understand his disappearance; I’d like to know if authorities have definitive answers. Whitney Houston’s death brings to mind the scrutiny that is given to the famous upon death; it feels like most people’s passing is swept away without a lot of answers.
