New American Voices

We just made it to Madison, MS. Sorry I haven’t been blogging and “twittering” more. I’m not as connected as Drew is with his iphone. I think I need to get one.
Well where do I start……
After Adair’s we had a nice long day of driving and stopped at a place [...]

Morning.

I hate meeting like this, so early and all, but we’re driving to Oxford, MS, and an early wake up call was necessary.

Man, what a way to kick off the tour last night. We had a great turn out at Adair’s-everyone seemed to be tuned in, and I feel certain a good time was had by all. Being on stage is a pretty good barometor for that kind of thing- if we had fun, I know everyone else had fun.

I think I was looking at my guitar tuner or something. I definitely wasn’t bored, I can tell you that. Playing shows with Rodney are always a blast. It’s truly a pleasure to share the stage with a friend and with an artist that I respect and enjoy. I’m sure I’ll still feel that way after the next 100 shows we’re seemingly playing together, since Rodney is a pretty easy going guy… but 100 shows is a lot. I’ll be sure to report any fist fights or throwdowns we may…
