I try to remember when, but I just have memories of the future. Thanks for listening!

Unless I Could Change a Few Things
I’ve been reliving a lot of old memories from my last stint in Georgia (’98-’04) since I’ve been back down there. I spent my 20’s in Athens learning to run a business and learning to survive with a touring band (or almost survive). One thing hasn’t changed. I’ve still got a lot of really good friends there and they’ve been helping me out this time around in a big way. Cheers to them! This song is about those old days.
October 13th “Winter’s Coming Back Again”
Today is supposed to be a little cooler so I figured I’d post this one. It’s about feeling Fall for the first time. I wrote a song that started like this, sophomore year at Appalachian State in Cone dorm, but I have no idea where it went from there. I’m sure I have a TDK with the 8-track Tascam version of that song somewhere. This version turned out pretty good. I captured my whole Neil Young and the Bluenotes tone that I used to love so much around that time. Thanks for listening!
Jan. 4th Song “Soul Bread”
It’s getting a little tougher now. I got up this morning around 6 drove the 50 miles to Morganton and picked up recycling for around 85 places with Dad. It was 17 degrees this morning but it really didn’t seem to bad. I think I have more trouble when the temperatures are in the 40’s than the teens.
It must be those four years I spent in Boone.
Today’s song reflects nothing of what I have experienced today, it’s just what came out between 6:30 and 7:00pm, my alloted time to write tonight. I’m still sticking with my ‘first thought best thought stategy’.
“Soul Bread” is a story song that’s a bit tragic and a bit humorous with a little secret ‘Belle and Sebastion’ jam at the end.
Thanks for listening.
