I'm forced to reflect on all that's happened.  It's been... A lot.

I made a record.  

I quit all my local projects and cut all my safety lines.  That was scary...

I went on tour.

I played 45 shows in 90 days, across ten states and in 25 cities.

I think it's about 15,000 miles...

Which would be roughly 600 gallons of gas...

All that was after doing my own pre-tour dates in Kentucky, southern Ohio, and Michigan.

I've drunk enough beer to own stock in the brewery.

I've made a lot of new friends.

I've spent time with a…Read more

I really thought I'd done it all. I've played a stadium, I've played a laundromat.  I've played a coliseum; I've played a Sonic Drive In. I've played burger joints, juke joints, a hot dog joint, clubs, pubs, bars, living rooms, and swimming pools. I've played summer camps, band camps, hippie camps, never a prison camp... Hmmm... I might have to look into that.  As a guest only... Okay, I'm getting distracted again. Happens often to a bear of very little brain.  Anyhow...

I didn't want to (because I was in denial) but I packed a winter coat for this tour run. Never mind that it was sunny and 68 degrees when I left Denver.  I knew I'd need it. Alas, I was right.  Sitting in Cincinnati this morning, looking out the window, all I could think is that the drive to Chillicothe sure was gonna suck! That's alright though, because being here is great. Which brings me to today's bit of subject matter.

People ask me all the time, "How do you drive so much?  It would make me crazy…Read more

It's been a whole week since I hit the road from Denver for the first time.  I'd love to tell you what a great town it is, and really, I feel like that's what I'll be saying after I get to spend some time there. Initial impressions are all very good. I just wasn't really there long enough to form a full opinion. I'll be home for Christmas though, and I'll be taking a nice long break to spend time with my family, and get to know the new surroundings.

For right now though, where in the world will I be?  Well…Read more

Where do I begin? When we left off, I lived in Cleveland, OH, and was touring to support Sixteen Winters.  Well, I'm still touring to support the record, but now I live in Denver, CO.  What can I say?  Things change.

To the city of Cleveland, I'd like to say a HUGE, and very sincere THANK YOU!!  You made a Texas transplant feel like family, and you gave me a place to have a family, and realize many of my biggest dreams.  You're a great town, and I will never stop preaching the gospel of the coolness of the…Read more
