I was on ichat with my friend Austin a few minutes ago and I wanted to use a word. The word that means what you can and and can’t say, and also means how to be polite. I wrote “eticate” but I knew that wasn’t right. Then I wrote “edicate”, then “etticate”, […]

Well, a big, fat thanks to all of you who chipped in with suggestions for songs for the sampler, who voted for t-shirts (and submitted them) and who’ve inquired about helping to fund the free EP. I can’t say how honored I am by you guys. It’s pretty inspiring, to know that somebody […]

Ok, so I’m printing up versions of the Letters EP to give away on the upcoming Caedmon’s tour. I want to add a pair of songs from each of my full-length albums after the EP, as a bit of a sampler. I’ve got these picked so far:
After the Garden (The Morning)
Kara (Photographs)
New Mexico […]

I just realized that I need to have designs for t-shirts in the next couple of days so I can have some to sell […]

Well, I’ve been playing catch-up the past few days. Returning e-mails and phone calls that have piled up over the past month of my sabbatical. I think I’m about done now, or at least am at the point where I just have to wait for the returns to my replies. You know […]

What did you do today?
I got to be in a movie.
Well, maybe not a movie. Maybe a self-filmed commercial for a friend’s new record. The record’s really good. Amazing, actually. And you should buy it. And you should also watch this. Alison and I did about five times in […]

Here’s a recording of Hold the Light from the Imperial Theatre in Augusta, GA. This was the second to last Peterson Christmas show, and it was a really good one.
The band on this tune was Cason on piano, Garett on cajon, Marcus Myers on bass, Andy Gullahorn singing background (along with Cason) […]
