As you might have noticed, we are currently on a break from the road. Jake is out on the west coast and I have been spending some time here in Nash writing and enjoying the great fall weather. This is definitely my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing and the mornings are crisp and cool. Brings back memories of times I have spent in the northeast, one of my favorite places to be.

As for the writing, it has been a productive week. One song in particular, "All I Want To Do", I believe is a keeper. I wrote the song two days ago. I might record a video of it later today and post in a blog.

Below is Jake and I performing on WNKU which is near cincinnati. A special thanks to Cindy for recording this. The audio is shot from her camera, live. The audio is not world-class, but true. Thanks so much Cindy for coming out that day and capturing this moment.

Hey Folks,

On our way back to Nashville earlier today, Jake and I met Hurricane Ike. The wind gusts we experienced while driving down the Pennyrile Parkway were unbelieveable. When we arrrived in Nashville, we learned that the Kentucky State Police were encouraging everyone to stay off the Pennyrile Parkway due to Ike. Check out this video shot earlier today:

I hope everyone is doing well! For those of you in the Evansville, Indiana area; I wanted to let you know that we have three shows in town this Saturday Sept 13 which includes a radio show on WRAY 98.1 during the 9 am hour. The other two are Ri Ra s at 1PM and the FOP Bierstube (open to the public) later that same day at 6:30PM. Further details are below.

WRAY 98.1 has added my single Backstage Pass to their playlist! I would really appreciate you calling in and requesting the song. Help me compete against Nashville's big machines. The request line is 812-386-1250 then option #1. You will be connected voice mail to leave your request. WRAY is the 19th radio station in the U.S. to add a track from 'GET LIT' to their playlist.
