Sometimes It Pays To Wait
I’m learning a lot about life. One of the hardest lessons for me being a type A guy is sometimes it pays to wait. I’m the guy who wants to work as hard as possible for things to happen quickly. Sometimes it benefits me, sometimes it doesn’t. Case in point…the band received an email from [...]
Beale Street
We went to Memphis to see some old friends. Beale street was crazy as usual. These two 7 year old kiddos were doing amazing one handed back hand springs for a block at a time. It was unreal. Great Blues guitar was coming from every direction. We also drove past Graceland. Today we went to [...]
Updating
I’m updating all my stuff this week.. It’s been a little while…. My son is coloring on the floor. Fun Day
Someday
It amazes me the situations I find myself in as a musician. Friday night I’m a roving minstrel at a country club. “Hey you know any Cash-Play me somin we know” “Stand here…Look like this….Only walk in this door…Don’t talk to the guest”…On Saturday, we drove to a large festival. We needed a place to [...]
Connection
Every now and then I meet someone that has instant connectability. Today was one of those days. I didn’t have to work for common ground. Common ground was pouring itself on me. It was very refreshing.
Smart Work
I was reading an interview with a famous group of songwriters. These guys had written big hits, and a lot of them. The subject of luck and the songwriting muse came up. One writer said, it’s about getting up every day and going to work…Most days it’s a job…just going through the motions…But every now [...]
Double Duty
We played the Do Dah Day Festival at 1:00 pm. Tons of fun…Big stage..good sound…pops came today…made me happy…Then we jumped in the van to go play a wedding….Just got back at 9 pm. Rehearsing for all the church music. Long day…
Nashville=Pressure
Today we drove to Nashvegas. I have always thought of this place as the mecca of all things music. You can feel the weight of music history when u drive down music row. We were going to the Nashville public radio station, for an hour long interview and tracking session. We left B’ham at 7:00AM [...]
Thursday May 14
The band played on Fox 6 Tuesday…Today we played on ABC 33/40. Both shows were outside which was a television first for us. I dug it. We’re not happy with the version of one of the cover tunes, so mid morning we went to Synchromesh thinking a live track would be the fix. 25 takes [...]
A new leaf
I actually lost my login info. and used that as an excuse to not post for awhile. Now 15 months later I’m back. I know you’ve all been staring at this page daily waiting for an update…hmm…With that said I do feel lately that my dealings in the ever crazy music business has inspired me [...]
