I have many things to be grateful for this year! I'm grateful for having traveled the world, making music with a musical legend (and an incredible band supported by an amazing staff and crew), grateful for meeting new people and seeing new places, grateful for my niece's completion of chemotherapy, health, happiness, home, pets, family and friends, including you!
Nelson...the record sounds great!! Thank you for all of your hard work. Can't wait to hear it live. See you soon and have a Merry Christmas if I don't talk to you before then. ~Jason
