Two new live recordings Live @ Salon 33 and Live...coming to a library near you were simultaneously released in early June and now are available for sale on this website and at the shows. On a broader note, the majority of the CD catalogue as well as digital downloads are now available on Amazon as well as on CD Baby and iTunes.

And...

Neither of these two (and other) recordings could have been completed without the following team of conspirators...

Source Recordings: Mark Williams

CD Artwork / Design: Bob Findlay and Stan Wasilewsky - Fairway Productions, Flanders, NJ http://www.fairwayproductions.net

Studio Sound Engineer / Mastering: Ernie Fortunato - Studio F, Watchung, NJ

Photography: Laura Brownlee - http://www.laurabrownlee.blogspot.com

One simple statement ties them all together...they are all extremely talented folks that I have been blessed to meet along my creative path. Please seek them out and enjoy their own work...

Also, the Serious Fun trio is finally getting serious. The driving force behind this project is the profoundly talented poet (and severely underrated harmonica player) John Hammel. I can't even begin to highlight all the different artistic / musical endeavors Mr. Hammel is and has been involved with. Please go to http://www.triobellacantare.com for more information about this multifaceted artist. JH's dark and thought provoking poetry is being transported by the visionary keyboardist / electronics maestro Anthony LaMort http://www.amlomortpipeorgan.com and yours truly on acoustic guitar and electronics. The trio recorded live in the studio @ James Manno's Jamman Studio http://www.jammanproductions.com in May.



The CD is now available for sale at our shows and via CD Baby and Amazon. Serious Fun will also be performing as much as practical as it is clear there is no substitute for the inspiration provided by live audiences.

A second recording entitled "An American Anthem" was recorded in September and is now available for sale via the same sources as well.

THE PAST IS NOT FORGOTTEN...

My son Colin Biedermann passed away on August 27, 2005. He was 19 years young. CB was the rhythmic force behind our duo work as well as that of White Light's. Besides the responsibility of maintaining the pulse, he pushed the music forward with musical sensibilities attributed to a musician of many more years' experience. His ability to improvise in a group context was of the highest order and allowed the other players extraordinary freedom to interpret the music and play with abandon. His abilities as a musician were only surpassed by his human qualities...the understatement of a lifetime. Colin will be sorely missed...however...never forgotten.
