the year of change...

Well, just as i was settling back down... they puuull me back in. Over the last year, i made one of the most important decisions of my life. The opportunity to relocate to Nashville, Tn arose and i jumped at it. I've been blessed to play with fellow musician and friend, Frankie Ballard over the last few years. He signed a record deal with Warner Bros last year. His career is taking off and we are working our asses off on the road! Life is exciting and my eyes are being opened to so many new things...

Right now i'm sitting in a hotel room somewhere in Ohio. We flew out of Nashville this morning for an acoustic radio show in Akron. With a little time to kill, Frankie, Lindsay (midwest radio rep from warner bros who is awesome!!!) and myself cruised over to Little Italy to visit one of my favorite places on earth- Corbo's!!!! I stocked up on Cannolis and had an awesome lunch. Frankie and Lindsay were bombarded with my stories of hanging there as a child. I was in a good place.

The station visit was great. The programming director, Sue, was absolutely a blast. We went out to a really nice dinner afterwards and talked for a couple hours while feasting on what i would call masterpieces- alligator tastes pretty good haha. We covered all the things you aren't supposed to mention at dinner; sex, politics, religion, animal cruelty haha. Good times.... that needed to keep going...

An hour later we found ourselves in the middle of nowhere at this crazy "fun" place. Go karts, bumper boats, batting cages, putt putt golf, and more... It was AWESOME. Frankie threw down on some super passes for three of us- unlimited everything, that's how we roll. Eventually the sun set and it was time for us to head to the hotel. My clothes are still kinda wet from the bumper boats, and i'm kinda sore.. time to watch Robin Hood and pass out.

Playing a festival tomorrow, meeting the tour bus in the morning then it's back to work!
