Man… I really haven’t stopped since this year started. I’m a lil tired, but really can’t say how grateful I am. I try and stop and take it in often, but time has a way of hypnotizing you. My bud @nicoleatkins snapped this of me recently (thanks u talented dear) Looking up from my work, surrounded by the 2 guits I use everyday, my phone w/ music ready to play (I constantly have music playing when breaks occur) and my dear old friend #edking’s eyeglass case that holds my slide, picks, capo and tools that come w me everywhere I go. Like him, I’m a #simpleman I think A good cigar, a good cup of coffee and playing my guit is about all there is to me That and taking care of my lovely girls (momma bear and our lil Josiebear) In short, life is pretty great When I look up I see talented compadres, sweet running partners and family (both blood and might as well be blood) And when I look down I see the opportunity to do the best I can again and again… and boots nicer than I ever thought I’d own Hope the world is treating you well friends And hope to see you soon Got a couple more shows w @chrisisaak Then back home to Nashville for some sessions then out to 3-17 St Louis MO 3-18 Milwaukee WI 3-19 Stoughton WI 3-20 Minneapolis MN W/ @lutherdickinson & @adamabrashoff Tix can be had at simo.fm Then a duo show w Adam in Nashville on March 25 for #musicityroots on @rootsradiowmot at @harkenhall With that, I bid u farewell Off to the airport yet again Sincerely a blessed cat 💛JD
