evening. long time no speak. hope y'all are doing well. things are going good in nashville from where i sit. the weather has been superb this week. we've been working on the album again. i think we're really gonna just finish it this time. scott's lawn service, atlas lawn care, mowed my lawn yesterday. they do a great job. larry text messaged me from germany the other morning at 4AM. thanks for the wake up call, larry! he's got a little surprise for everyone when he gets back in town.

i just got back from a chris thile solo show at bongo after hours. absolutley amazing. he and his mandolin. no microphones. maybe 100 people crammed into a tiny tiny living room. glen phillips from toad the wet sprocket got up and played some songs. it was a top five amazing musical moment in nashville for me.

here are some other things that are knocking my socks off right now. maggie moo's udderly cream milkshakes, tim bluhm's new album, fish tacos, nashville film festival, searching for god knows what, feist, mashups, and npr.
