Grateful Blog: Day 47: Its 2 days to the release of my debut CD, ‘Ash and Bone’. Since there’s no end to details leading up to the show, at this point it’s more or less a full court press to Saturday night. Friends are driving in from over 6 hours for the show. I don’t know if that makes me …
Grateful Blog: Day 46: I took a long hot shower today. Closed my eyes and let all 40 gallons of bliss run over my head, neck and shoulders. I plugged my ears at one point and eyes still closed I heard the pounding rain of a midnight storm, swirling in the streets ofBardstown,Kentucky. I played a show there a few …
Grateful Blog: Day 45: There’s a lot to be Grateful for on Valentines Day. But today it wasn’t the obvious. I was driving home earlier past the high school, a cold and rainy day when I saw a young girl in a short skirt and heels and no coat walking with who I could only assume was her boyfriend. She …
Grateful Blog: Day 44: I always hated it when someone bought clothes for me. Didn’t really matter who. I felt obligated to wear it and yet likely never would. So maybe 5-6 years ago we had dinner with our friends Scott and Susan for my birthday. They gave me a green polar fleece sweater. Predictably I didn’t wear it much …
Grateful Blog: Day 43: I saw someone today who a year or so ago went viral and posted nasty stuff about me online. Pretty much every chance they got. I don’t know why and honestly really tried not to think about it. It was weird, like having a stalker but one who hated you. The whole thing was surreal. Friends …
Grateful Blog: Day 42: Tonight I went and saw Gretchen Peters and Martyn Joseph at the AlbertaRoseTheaterhere inPortland. It was a church back in the day, that’s been converted back into a nice, intimate theater. The sound was great, the staff super nice, and the music was fabulous. Gretchen Peters swore we’d met before and I honestly felt that way …
Grateful Blog: Day 41: Yesterday the government passed another measure to stem the tide of the real estate crisis. By my count this was at least he 3rd such measure. I have my own opinions about the wisdom of the government trying to fix this. Unfortunately I don’t think the 3rd time will be the charm. In a twist of …
Grateful Blog: Day 40: (This is yesterday’s blog for the 9th) Day 40 of the blog…whoa…I can’t really believe it’s gone on this long. 40 Days. 40 Nights. This is sort of my ‘new’ testament as it were. I didn’t so much miss yesterday as I ran out of hours. It happens. There was still a lot to be Grateful …
Grateful Blog: Day 39: It was a bit of cold rainy day here. One of those early February ‘I just want to get through today’ types of days. A proverbial Wednesday–more of the same as it were. So coming home, exhausted, not wanting to cook, I found some homemade leftover navy bean and ham soup that Diane made the other …
Grateful Blog: Day 38. I was up at 4:30am yesterday to play on the air at 90.7 KBOO FM. It was an amazing experience. Driving into the show in the dark car I heard ‘Take the Central GeorgiaHome’ to open the show, the first time I’ve heard one of my songs on the radio while I was driving. It was …
