We just had a great few weeks up in the Chicago area. We saw some good friends, had a lot of fun with my parents, and vegged out. We also visited a few great, little boutiques around the western suburbs that are now carrying Laughing Tree Lullabies, Vol. 1. If you’re starting your Christmas shopping [...]
Are you in the Chicago area? Come by La Spiaza in downtown Wheaton tonight for Lullabies and Lattes.

With some friends, I find that we have been rocking out to the same tunes even though we haven’t been in touch for months and years- true musically kindred souls.
