Mississippi was an absolute blast. We shared a bill with The Josh Grider Trio and a really cool local bluegrassy band named The Dixie National. Our hosts, the McGuffie Family, who throw a”Pickin’ in the Pasture” party every year on their farm, know how to put together a great party. They also know how to make road weary musicians feel wanted and welcome, which is one of my favorite qualities in people (for obvious reasons).  I look forward to seeing them each chance I get. You don’t meet people that incredible very often, and I’m glad that I’ve become their friend.

Speaking of Josh, I got to listen to some of the rough mixes of his new album, and I’m happy to report that it’s top notch. It’s beyond top notch. It’s really really great, and I’m envious of his talent. I’ve got a record all ready to go, too, and I can’t wait for all of you to hear it. It’s a big step for me, I think. I have a good feeling about this one.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, I enjoy taking pictures with my less than excellent iphone camera and posting them on the site– it’s my little way of giving you a glimpse into life on the road. Check them out if you have time.

Headed north,
