I'm still in North Carolina and will be coming home to Tennessee at the end of this month to seal the deal with Asperion Records and get the new record out on the streets. I've been playing a few acoustic shows and have enjoyed performing live again. I miss my wife Melissa very much, we have never been apart this long before and we have been having relationship problems, which is one of the reasons I left Tennessee for awhile, besides to make some money out performing and with my company. It has been a hard time in my life here lately because Melissa has been my biggest fan and best friend for so many years, her birthday is May 18th, and I want be able to spend it with her for the first time I can ever remember. We have traveled so many miles together made so many records and she has been the biggest inspiration to me of probably anyone in my life. This life of music tears you apart somehow, the bars, the drinking, the life in the fast lane and all.  I wish sometimes that I could have just lived a more simple life, but I chose not to. Music has been a calling in my life, without living my life the right way. Nevertheless, I have been so blessed but it hasn't been worth the loss I have seen through the years and I refuse to let the Devil take my Melissa away. This month is for her, Happy Birthday Baby, I'll be coming home soon. So this month I will be giving my newsletter subscribers the free download song called "Since I Met You" which is her song and will be on my new record along with a lot more she inspired me to write. I hate the blues and the blues man inside of me but it is what it is and all we can do is keep the faith and press on. Thanks to all you fans and your support, keep us in your prayers please.
