Latest Updates, via Twitter... Almost As Latest Updates, via Typing... Happy New Year! Let's talk about winter. Specifically, let's talk about the record snowfall in Oklahoma during the Christmas Eve Blizzard, which managed to completely incapacitate more than half the state, making it (to say the least) a challenge for those of us who actually DID have to get out and DRIVE in it. Those of you who live in snowier climates, think of it thus: take your normal icy winter temps, add 6-8 inches of snow and ice, subtract all plows and salt trucks, then leave it that way for two full weeks. That's Tulsa this winter. So to commemorate these paralyzing effects (and hopefully remove the curse for the rest of winter), we proudly present the first-ever Acoustic Ross Christmas-type song, a variation on the old chestnut "Winter Wonderland," with new lyrics that - inspired by actual events in this record snowfall and containing language appropriate to our situation at hand - are most definitely not safe for work, the easily offended, and/or children you don't want learning That One Word just yet. Now then, the rest of you, please to enjoy:
UPDATE! Well, wouldn't you know, a few weeks later someone went and put pictures on top of that little ditty. You can watch it here. posted 1.10.10
True story: Got some shows coming up! One in September, one on HALLOWEEN... yeah, you might be able to guess what that one is. Hit the shows page for details. D-Fest was big fun, and I've tracked down a few nifty videos from there & other places, which will be coming to the SOUNDS page soon. Other things are going on too, albeit slightly less public ones. New material happening... new projects in the works... and the studio has been seeing a lot of action lately too. More things happening on several fronts shortly. Promise. posted 9.4.09
What's Coming Up: What's New: What Else Is New: Being a huge Half-Life addict, I had to check it out. Spoiler alert: it looks freaking fantastic. posted 2.21.09 What's Old: Edited to add: Michael Cooper got a couple nice shots at the show, which you can see on his flickr stream. What's New: And in case you haven't noticed, there's a bunch of new downloadable goodness in the SOUNDS region as well, plus some live video recorded last summer. I've also done updates recently to the PICS pages (now incorporating flickr) and the LINKS page, the latter of which in part because the band formerly known as Black Swan has changed names yet again. What's Coming Up: posted 2.8.09
Sunday January 18th: tune in to TulsaOriginalMusic.com's live audio stream at 1pm to hear me once again sound on the radio like the dweeb that I am.* I'll be on the air with Jay from 1 to 3pm. Friday February 6th: come see me perform at Cain's Ballroom! Details here. Unless they're doing multiple stages, and I don't think they are, this will be like my 7th time to play Cain's and my first time to do it on the main stage. The new album (read about it here, finally) is readily available in fabulous places, like Under the Mooch in scenic midtown (14th & Harvard) and Ida Red in scenic Brookside (33rd & Peoria). Coming up: ways to buy it directly from me, followed by ways to get it in digital form from iTunes and other places. Also coming: a behind-the-scenes look at making this beastly little record. I took down all the old pictures pages and uploaded a bunch of new ones to flickr. Go here to get there. *Proof of said dweebness to eliminate all doubt: In addition to updating my website on a Saturday night while burning a King Crimson CD (for Dylan, partial remuneration for appearing on the new CD) with a Mike Keneally DVD playing behind me and a cat sleeping on my jeans nearby, earlier I was reading comics on the couch while watching "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," and then I updated my twitter 'following' list to include Levar Burton, Paul F. Tompkins and Al Gore, among others. This is all since dinner. I rest my case. posted 1.17.09
Updates in progress. Sorry for the construction mess. I'm cleaning while I update. Thanks to T.J. for the new background pic. The new album is still done and readily available in many places. In a few days there should be some PayPal buttons here or on the Merch page so you can get it right from the source. Big show coming in February. Stay tuned for details. And Happy Holidays, if you're into that sort of thing. posted 12.21.08 "Acoustic Ross" & "News From Around The Bend" © 2002-3001 Northcraft Entertainment Organization.
