A time of many changes is here. Changes is good for ya, it’s not always easy, but in the end of it – good things are waiting. I take comfort knowing this, otherwise I’d go crazy with the current times.

Last Monday, my father called and said there’s a package waiting for me.
He told me it’s from Strange Attractors Audio House. That’s where I started to get excited. Yes. The new DVD by my two guitar mentors Glenn Jones and Jack Rose has arrived – titled The Things We Used To Do.

It was a busy busy week, you may have noticed I was away for couple of days.
So I didn’t have the time to prepare a new mixtape, therefore I went to the vault and took a mixtape I made for radio 106fm (the Israeli college radio), and here it is to you. Hope you’ll enjoy.
