it’s raining, it’s true,
but not hard enough
to keep a young lady
from strutting her stuff
it’s Halloween night
and there’s candy’s around
I just have twelve teeth
but I’ll still pound it down
assuming, of course,
I can sweet-talk my Mom,
but if she won’t budge,
Dad’s a softie, no prob.
Cause tonight I’m a CareBear,
all rainbows and pink,
and I’ll try and wear this
tomorrow, I […]

I play in about 45 minutes, here in Xenia, OH. Right when I walked in to the building I saw this awesome sign…

I know. So great.
They’re playing Andrew Peterson’s The Far Country while people are walking in and I’m realizing it’s been a while since I’ve heard it. I have to say, […]

so it’s late, but since I’m in Eastern time and it’s daylight savings night, I’m really too tired to figure out how actually late it is. I just had one of those moments. Where you think, I’ve got to write a song.
So I did.
And I like it.
It’s […]

I don’t have much time but I wanted to drop in and say hey. We had a fun Caedmon’s show last night in Pennsylavania, and then I played a really fun solo set at a place called the Farmhouse afterwards. It was this hundred-year old farm house that’s been turned into a coffeehouse. […]

I’m a liner note reader. I’m guessing a lot of you are, too, since you’re at my website and I pretty much exist publicly as a liner note. When I was a kid, I remember being uber-confused by the letters “bgv.” I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they […]

Yesterday and today have been wonderful days off. I was needing them pretty badly. I was getting worn out. A few of us did a little Square Peg fundraiser last night for a low-income couseling service in Franklin, TN. It was fun, though I doubt we really helped them that much. […]

It’s not necessarily worth leaving for, but coming back home is great. I’m going to turn the computer off tonight and all day tomorrow and spend the time with my family, so I’ll be back tomorrow night at the earliest.
I just want to say a quick thanks to everybody who came to the shows […]

I sang a song last night that I wrote eight years ago. It has a line in it that goes: “someday I won’t wake up to find myself lying in another cold and lonely hotel bed.” Well, I did this morning. And it wasn’t that bad.
Truth is, I’ve grown to really love […]

I got up early today today, finished packing, then played with Ells for a bit before she and Alison drove me to the airport. Ella’s in a big Daddy phase right now, which is absolutely amazing, but it made it very hard for me to leave, and according to Alison, hard on Ella, too. […]

Hey there, sorry I’ve been a lackluster blogging phenom this week. I’m about to pack a bag while watching tonight’s tape of LOST and then head to bed. I leave in the morning for this week’s run of shows.
I’ve written about before, so I won’t go into detail, but the day […]
