Home again, home again...

Fiddle-de-dee! Made it safely home from Cleveland. My first show with Tequila Sunrise went okay. By okay I mean that I totally dropped the last verse from "Hotel California" (our opening song!). Other than that, I had a few minor mis-steps, but the show went well.

The crowd was VERY responsive (900 strong!), and the stage, lighting and sound were AMAZING! I wish I could've gotten pics of the drums that I played on! They sounded beautiful and looked even better. Looking forward to spending the holidays, and most of January, at home with friends and family. We are booked back at HOB in Cleveland on February 5th, so I'll be heading to Nashville around the 20th of January or so. My bio and maybe a picture should be up on the Tequila Sunrise website pretty soon.

My friend Lori, from Canada, is spending the holidays with us here in the frozen Midwest. Her family decided to go to the Dominican Republic, and rather than letting her spend Christmas alone in Canada, I invited her here for an old-fashioned Iowa Christmas. (She hasn't been introduced to family yet though, so she still may attempt an escape!) Congratulations to her on her new job! She secured a nanny position with a wonderful family from Midland, Texas. Great salary, GREAT benefits and an awesome location. Looks like the Lord is looking out for a lot of us these days!

Other than that, not much new happening. Mom made another trip around the sun today... that's right -- 63! I really hope I look that good when I get to be her age. Dad and I are planning a special dinner for her and she's getting a REALLY nice gift from me (which I'll post about after it's been given). Christmas this year is at Grandma Chrystol and Grandpa Ollie's new house... so it will KINDA be like the old days.

Ta-ta for now, I'll see most of you in a few days, but for those I won't... Happy Holidays!
