A great deal has happened in the past year. We are glad to have a
new year upon us with great hope for the future. I would like to
start off by paying respects to my
dearly deceased parents: Mother Lucille Rankin who passed in November
2009, and father George Rankin who passed in November 2008. Those of
you who have seen me play over the years will remember them well for
coming out to the shows. Their presence in my life is such a part of
me that I have been unable to address any response until now. It was
clear to us all that Mom wanted to be with Dad and not in pain
anymore. Although my mothers death was sudden, I was able to spend a
week with her before she passed. I will remember and cherish that
time forever. God Bless all of the friends and family who have loved
and supported us through this difficult time.
In other news....David has been working with famed
producer Gary Carolla on a several big projects. Between co-writing
for other artists and laying tracks for the up-coming hoochie boys
single, the two have been busy. "We are currently putting an audition
video together for the process." Everyone in the camp is very excited
about the future for this project.
