Probably heading back to Az in a couple of weeks...at least for a month or two.....seriously thinking of selling the house and moving to Branson, Mo.....working on a "deal" here in Branson with one of the restaurant owners...will be involved in more than just the music side of things.....will keep you informed as things progress....in the meantime I'll be looking for work in Az as my "regular" winter job isn't going to happen this year as the venue has closed and they have retired....so...if anyone knows of anything in central and/or southern Az let me know...my regular email is CraigBackstrom@(expired link) to all for the support and interest.....
Cheers to all,
