California!
23, Feb 2013I LOVE THIS STATE. I’ve had some super fun trips to the Bay Area but never spent any time in SoCal, so when a good friend said Susan and Elizabeth should play in Huntington Beach, that sounded like a great idea. I would move here, but I’d need a job and all I’d really want [...]
Uke It Good
12, Oct 2012I had my last group ukulele class this week with Kevin Carroll and I have to say, I’m a convert. See, what happened was…about a year ago I got a ukulele because EVERY. ONE. IN FOLK MUSIC. HAS ONE. It’s a little cliché but they’re fun, right? Except that it sat there because I had [...]

Bozeman, Montana + Gibson Guitar
19, Aug 2012We had a great time in Bozeman, Montana on Thursday. We stopped by the Gibson Guitar factory to see if we might look around, and while they only do tours on Wednesdays, a nice employee named Jeremy took us through the factory anyway. We saw how a guitar gets made starting from a flat piece [...]
If you get it…
28, Jul 2012…gigs will come. Get the guitar that is. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of my new Epiphone…we have bonded faster than most any other instrument I have owned. This is a good thing because Susan asked if I would bring it to Amarillo next week and play a set with her band as a [...]
Guitar Nerd
18, Jul 2012I got a new guitar. It’s pretty gorgeous. (I’ll be loud and proud about my pretty guitar). My friend Geno (who owns Red Leaf School of Music – music lessons anyone?) also helps out at Larry Land Music in Bastrop. He’s been harassing me to come out and visit (just kidding, Geno only gently suggests), [...]

A Good July
13, Jul 2012It’s been an abnormal July because I’ve been home for most of it, as opposed to touring. We leave in July 31st for a tour all the way to Washington and back, so July has made me batten up my home hatches and appreciate being in the same bed every night. It’s been awesomely busy…I’ve [...]
MOC+JPO!
2, Jul 2012Something cool happened this weekend. I played a show with my good friend Michael O’Connor, who I also work with on the booking agent side of things (this made scheduling this gig quite easy). He is an amazing songwriter and guitarist…I’ve been watching his guitar skills for years now since he plays with Susan sometimes [...]
Voyage Air Guitar!
16, May 2012I am, as my roommates will readily testify…addicted to things with strings. I will happily pluck around on a mandolin, banjo, dulcimer, ukulele, whatever…without actually knowing much about it. (It is on my goal list to acquire a good working knowledge of at least two of these sooner than later). My first and only true [...]

‘Lectric
15, Feb 2012Emily asked me to play a gig with her next week and we got together last night to actually…you know, work on songs together. It was so fun. I got out my Telecaster and I might just never put it down again. I was rather attached to the electric guitar in high school. I had [...]
