Day 8 and a half – 9: A Bipolar Weather Drive

After taking entirely too long to pack up, say good-bye to Gretchen, get some blog work and internet stuff done, we FINALLY popped on the road by 2:30! I was ENORMOUSLY wrong (yes, Jared. Copy and paste that sentence to your “save file” so you can remind me of the ONE time it happened!) about...

Day 6 – 8: Winding Down and Moving On

Waking up in a warm space, rays of sun beaming through the windows, breakfast cooking downstairs…now THIS is a sweet way to live on the road.

On days of shows, if we aren’t driving, and especially if we haven’t gotten to rehearse/gig in a few days, we like to grab our guitars and just warm up the digits and pipes (which I also think would be a cool album title, “Digits & Pipes”). We got a few tunes in, and thought...

Day 2: Warmth in the Cold

Ok… so, banana coffee cake, fresh ground coffee, local honey, the smell of dryer sheets tumbling around in the laundry, a five-month-old Chocolate Lab/Springer Spaniel mix floppy pup, Dolly, with fresh licks to give out, baby chickens sunning in the incubator, horses out back not giving two shits about anything, Nina, the big ol’ momma...
