Well today is the First of August, the day I had worked towards as the day our first CD "Residual Sugar" would be released, and thanks in great measure to my son Nick and of course to my fellow musicians: John, Rob, Randy and Clinton, the music samples went up on the web site ResidualSugar.com and the CD became available for purchase on the web site through a PayPal account. Now, I'm looking forward to our first CD release party at Downtown Joe's on Main Street in the newly remodeled Downtown Napa on Sunday August 9th from 4-7pm out on the patio with the Napa River in the background. Should be a great event! Hope to see you there, and I hope you'll take the chance to listen to samples of all the songs from the CD, along with a full song for downloading, "Thank God There Is Nothing Complicated About the Blues".

After much time, and the passing away of my very good friend, lead guitarist and recording engineer, Mr. Raphael Holguin, I have finally found the group of musicians that I can really feel excited about playing with again. It's really great to be putting up the site on residualsugar.com , myspace, facebook, etc. as we prepare to release our new CD "Residual Sugar" on August 1st. I'll be back with more updates, thoughts and impressions as this truly "magical mystery tour" continues... until then peace to you and yours, and may your dreams become your life too :)... tom
