Hello My Fine Folk,

Guess it's been awhile since I've been out to this page - but fear not! Soon I'll be blogging on a regular basis...but not here. The new blog will be up in a few weeks on my website .
In the meantime, I gotta tell you that life has been good to me. Love life? Good! Family life? Good? Music life? GOOD!!

Each year I'm playing more and more shows. And this year proves to be even better - if not in quantity than definitely in quality. I know moving to Iowa was a big change for me (and, presumably, some of you) but lately, I've noticed that it seems my music has found a new focus and rhythm. I'm finding my roots as it were. Which is somewhat ironic given the fact that I'm starting to expand my tour base and get out on the road more.

Recently, I got to spend some quality time with old friends back in Minnesota and it felt good to have some real one-on-one time with these people without having to interrupt a conversation with, "Sorry, gotta get back to the show now." It was good to re-connect with the people who have been such a large part of my life for so many years. I miss them.

So, as Mr Boo and I start our merry way across the USA I look forward to seeing old friends more and making new one's along the way! See you when I get there!

Hello My Fine Folk,

As you may know, I recently entered a contest to win a performance spot at the upcoming Minneapolis Lilith Fair. This contest was called the Lilith Local Talent Search and involved fan voting via Ourstage and Facebook.

With your help, I ended up in the #1 spot after the many rounds of fan voting were complete! Unfortunately, I found out yesterday that the Lilith Fair and Ourstage judges chose someone else to perform.

I knew this was a possibility (as it stated in the rules; the #1 winner was not necessarily the winner of the performance spot) but I had sincerely hoped that my music and all of your hard work in getting me to the top would have had more of an impact on the final decision.

Your continued support means everything in the world to me and I can't thank you enough for helping me be a part of this endeavor. Today, I feel a bit disappointed and upset that so many of you spent such time and effort on this but I guess, most important, is that you made me #1 – and you continue to believe in me and my art and push me to continue to follow my dream. The beat goes on, baby and so do I!

peace.
~Lojo
