Haven’t blogged in a while, so here goes. A lot of cool stuff in the works. Possibly teaming up with different musicians to start a “travelling troubadours” kind of tour. The focus would be, of course, music, but also with a hands on approach in the cities we visit. We would actually spend more than 5 hours in the area. Imagine that! All of this, mind you, in still in the talking process.

Still working on new songs. Demoed one possibly for radio (which at best I have been unsuccessful at thus far!) with my friend James Joseph. It seems to have went over pretty well with “Team Joy” at Ardent. Radio is extremely unpredictable. And I, by nature, just don’t write that way. So, if this one, or any one, actually hits the airwaves….party, folks. Big party. And you’re all invited!

Still getting used to being without “my kids”. For those who don’t know, my sister and her husband moved from Memphis a couple months ago and took their kids with them. Boo hoo! I got to enjoy every single day for 7 years, 3 of the most extraordinary little people I have ever, or will ever meet. We literally were together every day. There’s a giant hole here now and Memphis just isn’t the same. Thank goodness for Skype! There’s tons of pictures of them on my Facebook page. Check em out.

Working on booking some shows in Nashville. Believe it or not, there are not that many places to play in Memphis. There should be, but there’s not. So, next stop…..Nashville. I’ve always enjoyed that city.

Oh! And if you haven’t paid attention to my posts and tweets about Jennifer Knapp….uh….what up? Make haste over to jenniferknapp.com and support her in whatever way you can. She is playing in Nashville on November 18th and I am SO there! More than that, support your local music. Support the musicians you enjoy listening to. We, as musicians, don’t go all over the world simply for ourselves. We go to sing for you. Go see their shows. Go buy their records. Even more, be a friend to them. Being a musician is hard work, folks. It’s not what you see on television. Nothing ever is.

Ok…lastly, and totally unrelated to anything previously said….2 things I am enjoying today….beenie weenies and my electric blanket.
Chow!
