Crew is very nice, mostly from Philippines and Jamaica. Had a jam session with another guitarist (teacher’s son named Matt) and a pianist (videographer named Garrett).

First off, this is really cool: my first interview and music review . I've had an incredible summer. Now that my various odd-jobs seem to have concluded, it's full speed ahead to my big trip around the world. Semester at Sea begins on Tuesday, August 26th, from Norfolk, VA. (For the full itinerary click here ). Over the course of the summer I am proud to say that I am a battle-tested waiter, a competent live sound engineer, and I can musically entertain happy hour patrons for up to four hours. Both of my concerts in Easton were sold-out and so much fun. The second one featured a full band, which I was lucky enough to temporarily assemble while I've been in Easton. I wrote a couple new songs, which I'll try to post as soon as possible. For the duration of my trip, I'll be posting my Tien Beats on my blog, at http://tienbeat.blogspot.com . Best wishes while I'm away...take care of each other, especially in memory and in honor of Kennedy, Maggie, and Christin...
