Hi Everyone : 

It was cool to have been considered by the Recording Academy for the 63rd Grammy Awards. To have been placed on the ballot remains an honor. Taylor Swift's album beat us all. Her album is amazing!  I didn't stand a chance!

Nonetheless, “The More I Learn” remains one of my best efforts. It was up for Song of the Year - and I am most humbled and grateful. ‘The More I Learn’ and ‘Juliek Plays’ are the best I can do. I truly wish I could connect with listeners the way Taylor does….
 

What next?
Well, I would like to WIN those four GRAMMYS next time around. ha.

NEW MUSIC FROM CHRIS? 
Yeah! Sure! Why not?

THE RETURN IS JAY UMBLE
I don't expect you to know who Jay Umble is or his music or his teachings, but the cruel reality is that we SHOULD, Dammit!  I consider Jay to be the Picasso of Guitar, and it's an amazing privilege for me to have him place his latest compositions in my lap for production.

Jay sent me some music a year ago; I interpreted it the best I could, and now he may release a record album (yes, like - as in - vinyl) when we get over some final mixing and mastering concerns. His material is engaging, worthwhile, and enriching.

NEW ALBUM(S) From Mr. Musically Delicious? 
Yeah! There is a lot of unreleased material.
Let's see how it all unfolds.
I shall walk into the room of death and retrieve my ancient sine waves.

I admit I don't do much with social media.
I'll try to remedy this.

LIVE PERFORMANCES?

NO!

Until next time,

Chris Colby is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and guitarist: Rock, prog, power-pop, the works!
