Bugger, got burned by the Hawaiian sun today
Ouch!!! Took a picture with my iPhone. The sun snuck up on me. I didn’t feel it until later in the afternoon. Guess I should have put the sunscreen on before going to the beach rather than after (duh).

I’ve been working diligently on my new CD and am excited to share the music with everyone. The adventure has been incredible. I’ve had the opportunity to play with some wonderful musician’s – some previous participants and some new ones. I’ve always wanted to explore the Cello, so I wrote parts for several songs. It was better than I expected. I feel I’ve really stayed true to my inspiration on this CD and didn’t settle for anything less than my best. I can honestly say that this is the first time when completing a CD that I didn’t think about what I should have done differently.
A new development is I’ve begun to explore the medium of video. I’ve always visualized images when I’m creating and playing music. Now I can share some of the images with others.
On that note, I’d like to invite you to watch my newest video. I’ve used photos from my friend, photographer and fellow traveler Cheryl Krieger Brown. She took these photos while we both traveled in a group with Jana Stanfield to Bali. In this video the serenity of Bali is set to music of “Beginnings – Prelude to Paradise” (a song from my upcoming CD Beauty & Fire) and the words to my poem “I Didn’t Believe In Love”.
You can find the video at http://budurl.com/lovepoem. I know you’ll enjoy it. Please leave me comments. I’d really enjoy hearing from you.

One of the real joys has been working with my daughter Melanie Michaud on the CD artwork design. She has participated before (i.e. cover of New World Flamenco Jazz) but this is the first time she designed the entire artwork. I’m amazed that the little girl whom I carried in my arms to gigs is now putting her heart and soul into creating beautiful artwork for her papa! She is a real pleasure to work with. So what can I say? The Universe IS just.
