This past weekend, Guardian had the pleasure of playing in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An amazing event for a good cause that put us before an estimated audience of 80,000.

I could go on and on and on about the trip. It was stellar from beginning to end. Christian and I had a bonding time together. It was great to hang with David Bach and Karl and Hunter Ney. And it was huge pleasure to get to know Jamey Perrenot- he played guitar on this date. Jamey was an instant hit with us and the Guardian fans. You may recognize him as he has played extensively for LeAnne Rimes and most recently, Taylor Swift. Look for Jamey to be a part of Guardian's near future.

Near future? What?

Yes, we had a major brainstorming session this past week. I believe we have found a way to satisfy Guardian fans and ourselves while still being able to function with our current, non band lifestyles. I will give more details soon but I assure you. It's going to be GREAT! We all realized how badly we have missed it. Also how loyal the Guardian fans have been globally. It's humbling and inspiring.

Here are some pics:

Earl Anthony Wayne - The USA ambassador to Argentina came to meet with us before the show. His wife Paula was sweet as well. I'm always intrigued at how a bonehead, mid-western goof like me can always seem to gel with the movers and shakers of the world.

The set list. We signed this for our translator Pablo. He was fantastic!

I have a decent amount of video footage that I haven't been able to edit yet. But I found some cool fan shot clips on youtube. I love this one as you can hear how loudly the audience was singing along!

That's my recap of Argentina.

I do want to take a moment to congratulate my London Calling/The Ruled bandmate Jeff Shipp and his wife Amy on the birth of their son Gannon! They will be great parents no doubt!

I also want to say that I heard the advance of Israel Houghton's new album '"The Power Of One" and I think it's a landmark recording for Christian/Gospel music! March 24th release date! Check it out!

I need to get in shape. For appearance AND health reasons!

Much love to all of you!
