You know, airplane flights and me are always fun. Except for my back. It is on fire right now. Thankfully I have something to take for it. Looking forward to getting to Memphis, just not the second leg of these flights.

Connected to friends, family, social groups, and in my case, all of those, plus fans. In the music business, you have to stay connected to your fans. They are the lifeblood of the industry. This means you. The reader of this blog, the person that comes [...]
Thanks!
