To online friends and cyber surfers,

It's quite hard to believe another year has past, or I should say flown by!

It's been a very fun and interesting year for me with many highlights and special moments.

In late August, Duran Duran finished an amazing 18 month World Tour where the band seemed to gel more and play better together from each show to the next. The energy and excitement built to an all time high and the shows were some of the most enjoyable for me since first playing with the band back in December 2004.

In September I began renting a professional studio where I go to work 5 days a week. It's my first studio away from home. Ithas been a place of great artistic development for me and has been a lifelong dream.

I have been writing with and producing many interesting artists and bands, and everyone who has worked there has positive things to say about the experience.

A few other interesting things have been; promoting my Blue to Brown album, seeing the fantastic results of a 13 week house renovation (though living through it seemed like hell), and last but not least, being able to spend a lot of time with my amazing family.

It's a blessing to be able to see my children grow and develop, and to spend quality time with them and Martha.

Thanks to everyone for the kind and thoughtful messages and wishes.
Til next year
