The Cruise

I managed to leave for Florida a whole day prior to the beginning of the ice age. I drove to Gainesville FL and stayed for 2 days. I think I would assimilate well into a college town. There’s a ...

Did Something

Step dad called and asked if I would climb up on his house and remove the leaves and limbs. I told him to call the oldest grandson - he’s around 25 or so… All I get back is - well, I don’t want ...

It's most definitely me

It’s probably exhausting for someone who is extremely serious about everything to be around me. I don’t subscribe that everything that happens is a 5 alarm fire. I know some folks like that. If ...

Happy New Year

I did nothing.. I stayed home .. I played my guitar to an audience of one rescue hound dog and one Australian Shepherd. They loved it!! Lonely doesn’t bother me anymore… Liberating!!

Created my own tradition

Since it doesn’t seem like my mom is interested in her biological kids as much as she is her new 30 year old stepson - I decided to create my own tradition. So, for Christmas Eve, myself and a...

Getting this one off my chest

My mom planned our Christmas dinner with my sisters and the grands for tonight. It was originally for 3pm but she moved it. One of my nephews had to work so it was only right to move it down so ...

Bahhh wait a minute!

A month ago I was all excited about Christmas. There have been years in my past when I hated the idea, hated the music and just plain wanted the day to come and go. A month ago I set XM to Chr...

Lemony Snicket's

Didn’t get to leave home at 3pm on Thursday like I wanted. My ride or die companion kept working until 7. My 3 hour drive to Nashville put me at the hotel at midnight after I stopped for a bathr...


I leave tomorrow for W Virginia to be on a movie set for a cheesy comedy Christmas movie that’ll be out next year. I fly back to Nashville for a music video shoot and then back home on Wednesday...


Seems like an odd title. I am humbled by the people that I have in my life. Not family but close acquaintances that seem to enjoy my company more than my family. My mom came to my place the ot...

Tomorrow - another year older

I did it already knowing

She asked me to walk into the store and get some spices for the cornbread dressing. It’s the day before Thanksgiving… But… I did it and didn’t say a word. I already knew there would be none....

I'm learning more and more

There’s someone that I am madly in love with and have been for a long time. I’m steadily learning that our love languages are so different that when we reach emotional emptiness we crash and cla...

Times are weird

So, my little squabble has had me down. I’ve been upset at myself and all but avoiding the other person since it happened. This afternoon I had no choice but spend some time with them and have a...

Just not my week

I was uncharacteristically mean to someone yesterday. I was emotionally exhausted after the weekend gigs and volunteer basketball practice. They were acting so manipulative and conniving and I s...

May Skip the Festivities

I saw a very close relative in the store the other day. I haven’t been able to see them in about 3 months. When I’m available I would text and they would always have something else they were doi...

I knew better

I have a cousin that is getting married soon. They hit me up to handle some of their music. I wanted to help out so I agreed. Then, they wanted to sing a song to their husband and asked if I cou...


One of the booking managers I use booked me at a church last Sunday morning. I show up and another artist was there setting up their gear. Turns out, my booking manager didn’t confirm the date a...

Well, I didn't win but ..

I got to meet a bunch of fellow independent artists. Some really interesting and super talented people out here making music because they love music. I have been so blessed to be what I do and...

Uh oh...

I’m sitting here at the hotel watering hole. I may have indulged in one too many… Oops

This close

I’m so close to firing an assistant. They won’t listen. Then when I try to explain they make excuses. They twist what I say and make me sound like I’m being mean to them when all I want is for t...


Book Description

The path my life has taken has left me with more questions than answers. I always believed that whatever you dreamed and worked hard for it would happen. At some point I woke up and the 9 year old little boy who dreamed of selling out stadiums and playing music apparently, was never born.
