Hi Jamie.. sure could use one of those cool drinks you whipped up the other night! It was good seeing you.. next time let's do it when you don't have to work and we can hang and play music!
had a lovely conversation with your LOVELY wife today.. you take good care of her now, you hear? Bourbons and cigars are on the horizon.. I see a "play" date on the schedule soon!
i am heartbroken...look what was posted on the cardinals website:
me- 34-a non smoker and happy, for the first time in my life.. i am excited to finish this wonderful time i have had with the cardinals and whatever new adventures may come after march. atlanta will be my last venture with the band and i am grateful for the time we have had and maybe someday we will have more stories to tell together. i am however ready for quieter times as i think it is very evident i am struggling with some balance and hearing issues.
also, no drama or anything but i am okay to step back from all of this right now and i think i did enough manic blogging when i felt alone and isolated during the last few years of travel. these last few years were the hardest i can remember and the most rewarding but i have loved ones to care for now and i am lucky i have been given a chance to turn around and see just what i am capable of as a friend and as someone who is not gone forever every year- it rendered me incapable of things i needed to be to myself and others- and my schedule sometimes never ended when the shows did- and some of that was my doing. and i lost someone i loved, and i lost myself.
that changed. i got to know just who i am in this little spell of time here recently. and change is the nature of the world and i naturally embrace that.
i won’t be blogging here anymore either- but not for effect- it just is not being kind to myself- i need a life that is mine- i need to grow up and grow in to who i have subtly been working back towards since i stopped all that nonsense and i know also no matter what i choose to do in the music world, because i chose to do things my way and never lie i will always be viewed as an “asshole” ( i hear and have seen things in the past) and i am not, and i know the truth and i know who i am.
also it is kind of ridiculous to blog as because i am a musician and anything i say here just gets reprinted at some point out of context. i sa
im curious to know your thoughts on the new "Cardinology" album!? Also what is your mailing address i have something for you! "Steeple in your heart" is a great track!
you bet, Jamie, and thank you! Glad you enjoyed hearin' Karen and I sing! Indeed, lookin' forward to our next show together, hopefully we can make it happen soon!
Jamie... the fishing trip is OCtober 11th.. if you wanna go, let Bill know.. he's planning it now. Amy's got the home #.. Amy will be here with the "goddesses" and you will be the "gods".. hee hee
