We’re all here at some Super 8 in West Virginia taking turns getting cleaned up before soundcheck. Why is that whenever six grown men have nothing to do but flip through basic cable we always end up watching extreme police videos? We may never know.
The show last night was pretty fun. Monitors […]

so I’m on a bus somewhere in Pennsylvania, I think. I don’t really know. I just woke up. I sleep really, really long and hard on a bus. If you’re unfamiliar with how a tour bus is set up, you’ve got a lounge in front, with a couch, little kitchenette, tv […]

Maybe I’m weird, (ok, I know I am) but I often “landmark” different events, seasons, memories in my past with songs. For example, when I get within fifteen minutes of Normal, Il, my hometown, and it’s anything resembling Autumn outside, I have to listen to R.E.M.’s Green. It’s how I fully experience that […]

I had to stay up late to work on some guitar tracks for an album Cason’s producing. (We had a deadline miscommunication.) I had fun working on the songs and felt I got some good stuff. I also got this:

My favorite part is the ending. And the fact that I hid […]

Since last night’s post didn’t have quite enough random tidbits, I have a few more…
You know that bird that’s been waking us up early every morning? Alison thinks she saw a chipmunk making the noise. In which case we need some sort of bionic cat who transforms into a shotgun. Unless, of […]

I’m sitting here in Andrew Peterson’s borrowed van, sharing a seat with my lovely bride, and we’re driving home from a Caedmon’s show tonight in Cleveland, TN. The illustrious wunderkind Aaron Sands filled in on bass tonight and did an examplary job. (He’s let on that he reads my blog, and he’s very […]

Hey everybody - I just wanted to quickly say thank you to all of you who have sent such kind notes and have been praying for my family and me. I am ever grateful. I’ve got a couple hours to spend with Ella this morning and then Randall Goodgame is coming over so […]

First of all, thank you so much to all of you who left such caring and encouraging comments on my post yesterday. That has been wonderful to read and I am grateful to all of you.
