Version 0.9.9.2 of MF Gig Calendar is now available. The current version fixes a silly mistake I included in the previous version (thanks to Chris Meijer for catching that so quickly!). While I was tinkering I also enhanced the shortcode variables for customizing a list of events. I’ve also reworked the documentation just a bit […]
I finally updated the MF Gig Calendar with a few fixes (nasty little bugs…) and a few new features: I’ve improved the way the RSS feed works, giving you the option of how much content you want to include in your feed. I’ve also added a few more shortcode variables to customize exactly what events […]
I recently completed a custom WordPress theme for my friend and fellow musician, Ron Oswanski. Ron is an extremely creative keyboard player – he plays great piano, but is feels most at home on the Hammond organ or his accordion. If you’re a jazz fan he’s definitely somebody you should know. I tried to create […]
I’ve got a few gigs coming up next week with TRI-FI. We’ve been busy writing some new music for an upcoming recording and we are eager to play some of it for you.
As of version 0.9.8 you can display more specific event information from your MF Gig Calendar WordPress plugin on any Pages or Posts by including simple variables in your short code. – display only one specific event – display events that are happening on a particular day – display a range of dates (START:END) Note: […]
I had a few pages on my site that were password protected using WordPress’ built-in password feature. Recently it all just stopped working and it took me a while to sort it out. The WordPress feature is so easy to use – just type in what you want to be your password and save the […]
Rackspace Cloud Sites has a new WordPress install wizard! It’s really handy and saves me a few steps in setting up new WP sites. I discovered that this wizard, along with installing WP in a few easy clicks, automatically installs a plugin called Root Relative URLs. This plugin replaces WP’s absolute links with root-relative links. […]
It’s a fact. You just won’t get much done in your practice session unless you know what you are going to practice before you sit down at the piano. Life can be busy and practice time can be precious. I know that if I sit down at the piano without a plan I’ll start noodling […]
This is a collection of holiday classics done up in a creative jazz trio way. Have a listen right here on my site. Then you can order it online on the TRI-Fi website as CD, digital download or even HD audio!
Just launched! A brand new website for jazz singer, Curtis Stigers. This is a WordPress theme redesign that I just completed. One of the requirements in the design was a way to have music playing in the background as visitors browse pages. I didn’t want to use frames or flash (for obvious reasons) and instead […]
I’ll be on the road for a few weeks this fall with Curtis Stigers. We’ve got gigs coming up in Seattle, Boise, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and France. Check out my online schedule for more information.
I’m off to Denmark next weekend with my trio, TRI-FI. We’ve been invited to perform at the European Double-Bass Convention. In addition to our performance at the festival we will be playing a few other fun shows while we’re there: Jazz Club Dexter in Odense (Thurs 16 Aug) A couple after-hours concerts at Jazz House […]
