Congratulations on your shows with the Big Dogs. I saw the vodies for  My Monkey and  Always the Moon.  They and you are great.  It's nice to know that JoCo is playing some of his Song Fu songs.  I have hopes of seeing a  Space Doggity  video someday.Speaking of Song Fu, how is your songwriting coming?  I find that the key to songwriting is to write songs without any initial thoughts about whether or not they will be  keepers  or  hits  or  Stand up to public scrutiny.  Just write, rewrite and finish.  Give it a few weeks.  Then, if you can remember how they go and they still sound OK, they are probably pretty good.DFTBA-Russ

On November 17, 2008 Creative Commons announced that a special edition of JoCo Looks Back on a 1GB USB drive was available as a premium gift for those who donated $50 or more to their annual fundraising campaign before December 31, 2008.
