Hey Everybody,
This note is to check in and say I hope you're having a wonderful spring. My favorite quote of the moment is Robin Williams "Spring is natures way of saying 'Let's Party.'"

I've been home since January and this has been the first spring in a while that I've cooled my jets and gotten to see the season unfold. Nashville has been so beautiful and mild. As some of you know, I love to garden when I find the time and the evidences of seven years of work have been wonderful to see. Right now, the Tennessee state flower, the Iris, is in bloom and it is glorious.

On the music side of things before I digress too far, I want to congratulate my friend, Ashley Cleveland on her Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album of the Year. We were in a duo together in college and it has been wonderful to watch her grow as a mighty powerful singer and songwriter. Her integrity is a real inspiration! If you haven't heard Allison Krauss and Robert Plant's new album, it's incredible. Dad has a song on that called "Stick with Me Baby," which was the B side of the Everlys' "Cathy's Clown." Cangrats to our friend Bobby Pinson who has the new Toby Keith single.

Closer to home – My brother, Sister, and I (our trio is informally called Wild Hare) have started writing a lullaby album. Now my baby is all grown up, but I love kids and we figured this would be as good of a reason to record together as any. Sister Carrie has been performing in New York and will be doing regional theatre until she joins Dad and me in the fall. She's going to start recording her second album next week and we're all excited. I'm mulling around some ideas for the next album, but between now and then I look forward to seeing you all on the road this summer. I was just looking over the calendar and starting to feel that wanderlust…

Love and Hugs
Pam
