I managed to not murder my drummer after some many miles driven...a pleasant trip...

She might be almost out of my system, but i have had to recalculate revise and revisit because of the lingering doubt

--------------------------------------------------------------

-Disappearing ink-

shes wheatstraw and lightning

cherry blossoms on the breeze

these confessions im jotting

are written...in disappearing ink

wish i could say it better...wish i could sing it

walking the delicate shadows of she

these words will rescue me

shes gunsmoke on the breeze

when brown eyes meet blue

im multiple vantage points 

shes vaules, contrast and hues

walking the delicate shadows of she

these words will rescue 

she's sketch, a pose, and colors

composition and flow

im notes on a subject 

transposition, revision, and prose

wish i could say it better...wish she would see

walking the delicate shadows of she

these words will rescue me

trying to capture a moment

capture a moment

reliving for a moment

a moment...thats never come

terrific scenery, hard to believe Memphis is in tennessee...the full 20 minute version of Inna Gadda Da Vida flying 80 MPH down a hill in the Smokeys...graduation parties in every college town we find (never heard so much Amos Lee, God no...)...

i have seen every species of roadkill, including half of a deer, hanging from an 18 wheeler, the random armadillo, and of course, drunk college girls...

witnessed a large helicopter painted much like the Yellow submarine in the middle of a soybean field in middle TN...

a strange random phone call from an ex (actually this happened a couple of times somehow, what is the plural for ex?) asking marital advice...should not have happened when jack daniels was so near...

the sweet lingering feeling of being eaten from the inside by a properly cooked German meal:  http://www.eatbrats.com/ in johnson city TN   wow, why would have thought...plus served the only local brew i could find...awesome!! http://www.depotstreetbrewing.com/beers.html

the acoustic coffee house: ridiculously cool 2 patio local hangout, appears a must-book stop on area tours...thrilled to have performed there  thanks to our friends the stereofidelics  http://www.thestereofidelics.com/   for booking w/ us and jamming our last set, thanks to Jim: http://www.acousticcoffeehouse.net/x/

aside from the obvious distractions (i still say knoxville women smoke those at ole miss every time), have really enjoyed performing and reconnection with w cumberland ave and market square...regardless of double-booking antics, thx to the preservation pub http://www.preservationpub.com/

someone in johnson city told me a story about how the labels on my CDs reminded her of a particularly memorable puke she had, but some how 'beautiful' still was uttered

looking forward to playing timewarp tearoom with jeff ruby, getting home isnt off the radar...

i know youre not reading this wheatstraw and lightning, but youre here with us, and while i didnt invite you, im not minding

more later...j
