I am currently in the process of doing final mixes for all of the tunes in the IIWII project and will be sending it off to be mastered by Dave Collins as soon as the stew is properly seasoned. Things are on track for an August '08 release. Whooohoooooooo!!!

After a lengthy involuntary hiatus, Beverly Lewis-Fifield, my beautiful wife of 19 years, has re-emerged onto the SoFla music scene. We have recently begun working together again and are recording blues and jazz oriented material for a CD to be completed and hopefully released in '08. There are some fine South Florida-based musicians involved in this recording and we are both pleased with how the material has been evolving. Gabe Vales, Goran Ristanovich, Paul Banman and Gabriel Vivas have lent their talents to the tracks so far and we're thrilled to have them on board! Check in at Bev's page in the coming months for previews of tracks-in-progress. . .
