A New Focus and a New Look for BobMcKillop.com

September 5, 2009

Hey folks!

Welcome to the newly re-designed BobMcKillop.com!  Many thanks to Steve Bradford, my webmaster - in - chief, for all of his creative and technical wizardry!  (By the way, you really need to check out Steve's assemblage art pieces - he's an extremely talented artist!)

You haven't heard a lot from me over the past year or so.  I've been intensely involved in the promotion and administration of the Maine Songwriters Association.   I'm finishing up a term as their president this winter.  I've also been wrapped up in writing reviews and managing my other website project, MaineFolkMusic.com.

I've enjoyed both projects, but I sorely miss the jolt I get from songwriting and performing.  So, I've decided to re-focus my energy on those two activities; that is where I want my creative energy to go, and those activities define what I'd most like to do with my time!

Toward that end, I've consolidated MaineFolkMusic.com into BobMcKillop.com, so that the reviews that I've written about all those great folk artists are still available.  From this point forward, I'll add to those reviews occasionally, when the inspiration strikes.  Click on the "Music Reviews by Bob" link on the main menu.

I'm also going to be writing and performing more, so watch for concert dates coming up in the near future, on the calendar at the left of this page!

As I write new songs, I'll be placing them out on the webpage for your inspection and comment.  I'd love to hear what you think!  Click on the "Songs" link on the main menu.

Also, you can purchase MP3 tracks from my debut CD, "Portland Afternoon", and a few other tracks, from the WebStore at the left of this page.

I'm looking forward to this change in my focus, and I'm also looking forward to seeing you out in the great music scene here in Maine!  Please drop me a line at my email address, bob at bobmckillop.com, or say hi at a show in the near future!

All the best

Bob McKillop
