Last Friday, I opened a show with a group called Eric Wilson & Empty Hearts. The band itself didn't get a great review, but I got a great shout out!

The crowd was shoulder-to-shoulder and composed mostly of post-college college indie types. Eric Wilson & The Empty Hearts opened and delivered a relatively straightforward dose of Nashville country. ( Read more... )

I love staying busy. I think that when I don't get to play, I get a little depressed. My mood overall is different. I am not as motivated. Well, yesterday put a shot in my arm ( Read more... )

Just as I was typing the date, it hit me that is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination date. Bummer. Way to start off an entry. I'm busy procrastinating again. Trying to avoid my project. I feel better each time I work on it, though I know I should be constantly working on it ( Read more... )

I neglected to mention that I have begun yet another journey of discovery. Last weekend when Brooxie's mom was here to help with Brooxie's wisdom tooth surgery recovery, she brought me some of Keith's old golf clubs. I'm very excited about learning something physical. I think everyone should learn so we can have excuses to take trips to places like ( Read more... )

I'm trying to think of what my car should be named. Please keep in mind that this is the Toyota "Highlander". I was brainstorming last night and had a few people to help me. I began by thinking of the car tag... if I were to personalize, I would put "Only 1". Then I was trying to make a name out of only one that would make sense and then I thought ( Read more... )

Well, I've finished another semester at Belmont. I came out with a whopping B- in classical guitar this semester. I've decided that for better or worse, I'm spending the majority of my time on school next semester. If I do that, then I will only have 5 more weeks before I'm out of school. I'll take my comprehensive tests in the summer and I'll be ( Read more... )

In my days since Vestavia and the work I did in the local churches during college, I have come to realize several things. One of them is that I appreciate not working in the local church. I can not say that there were not perks to working there. Number one is that I had a weekly challenge of preparing music. That is not the only thing I miss, but I ( Read more... )
