It took a few days skillfully navigating around nearly a million potholes on lovely I-65, and then suffering a thousand teenage rodents who found it amusing to occupy every elevator of a 25 story hotel therefore making it nearly impossible to leave the restaurant which was conveniently located at the top. But we held firm, we stayed the course, we didn't hit any ceilings, we didn't fall over and ridiculous cliff and landed safely in Atlanta. The ATL. Hotlanta. Or let's just call it Warmlanta....it's only about 50 degrees.
It's
been a couple of weeks since we returned from the UK/Europe and after
the 3 hours of sleep in Amsterdam, the 1 1/2 hour wait in the security
line, the 3 hour layover in London, the 8 1/2 hour flight back, 3 trips
though security, the privilege of being "selected" for additional
screening, the high school ladies ski team on their first trip to
Colorado, a 5 hour layover in Minneapolis, the extra unexpected night
at the motel 6, and the nice little package from the Merseyside Police
Dept. in Liverpool containing the speeding ticket for going 58 in a
50..... I think I'm ready to jump back in the whirlwind tonight. We'll
be heading just north in the Georgia mountains to Dahlonaga for a short
set at the Crimson Moon. Tonight and the next few shows are all at
places which boast being former and current stomping grounds for some
pretty well know folks. I'm in the land of John Mayer(not the Milwaukee
John Mayer but the one who dates movie stars), the Indigo Girls(oh yes, I
most certainly am familiar with their catalogue) and the Allman
Brothers.
The
time off though has been nice as a few new songs have been working
their way into the set and I think there may be a few more on the way.
Which works out perfectly as in a couple of months we'll be in NYC and
Linus from the Evil Twins has very graciously offered to help me get
them to tape at his studio in Brooklyn. Linus and I have been talking
about this recording for quite a while now so it's awesome to have the
time scheduled to record. I'll keep you all up on details as they come
up.
In
the event ya'll(see, I'm almost a local) have some people down this
way...give 'em a shout out and tell 'em to tell their friends.
take care
Josh
