What a week! It started on Monday by driving to Delta to watch and join pianist Joy Myers and flutist Donna Wissinger perform. Joy Myers is my mom. I had a very small part in the performance. Though I enjoyed being a part of it, I got the most enjoyment out of seeing my mom [...]

My wife is pretty pleased that her dog Nugget made a guest appearance on the recording. I guess we will have to include him in the vocal credits now. I am anxious to hear the rough mixes with all of the new parts added!

Wow. It’s 11:11pm on 11/11… one MORE than 10! Tonight I joined friend and songwriter extraordinaire Danny Shafer and drummer Jason Pawlina for an Unknown Americans gig at Conor O’Neill’s.

Recording in Nashville was a hoot! Wow! It sure is amazing how many great musicians are there. The energy is contagious and everywhere I went I could hear people talking about writing, performing, and playing music.

It is great to be in Nashville again. This trip is short, though, and I don’t have much time to reconnect with old friends. Yesterday was a long day in the studio. My buddy Tom Larson cut drum tracks to nine of the songs so far. Tomorrow we’ll continue with drums, percussion, pedal steel, and [...]
