Hello again, sports fans!  Been a while.  Let me just start off by
    saying The Orioles are in first place and it's September.  Very
    strange, not sure really how to deal with it.
OK, back to music, and a few other Fall items (a bit of
        self-promotion, I'm afraid):
#1 - Matt and I have been busy working on some recorded
        material, and I'm very proud to say that we've now made it
        available via download on the CDBaby.com site.   It's a mini-album, with a reworking of "Mabelline"
        that includes Bill Beachler on drums, along with three other new
        songs we wrote. Yes, we're selling it, but it's only $3.50! 
        Eventually we may have it available in disc form, but for now
        it's a download-only release. Here's the link:
       or just copy this: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/samnitzberg  into your browser to hear samples or to purchase. Or you can find the songs on iTunes, Spotify, Rhapsody, etc., too.  And if you like it, tell your
      friends!  Or tell me!  If you don't, don't.
#2 - As mentioned in these ramblings before, Matt and I are also
      going to be appearing in three weeks, on Saturday, September 29th
      as part of the Woody Guthrie 100th Birthday Celebration at the
      Creative Alliance.  It's bound to be a great night, there are some
      terrific acts who will also be appearing: The Stone Hill All Stars
      (who will be backing us up on a couple of tunes), Arty Hill, The
      Honey Dewdrops, Caleb Stine, The Hello Strangers, and Michael
      Patrick Flanagan Smith.  Here's the link to the Creative Alliance
      page for tickets, a promotional video, and info: http://www.creativealliance.org/events/2012/woody-guthrie-happy-100th-tribute
      . Please
      come if you can, should be great -- I'm really looking forward to
      hearing all the other performers, actually.
And #3 - We're also slated to appear at the Roots Cafe
      Singer-Songwriter Series at An Die Musik on Sunday, November 11th
      at 5pm.  I'll bother you about that again as it gets closer, more
      than likely, but just in case I don't, consider yourself notified.
OK, enough for now.  Hope to see you somewhere sometime.
Sam
