We Got a Re-Do!!!

It's a year later... but we actually got to PLAY today at the Millington Naval Support Station today right outside of Memphis. Last year, it was completely rained out and we stood in the POURING rain with tarps strapped to our gear. One of those - beautiful sky days that without a warning turns into BAM!! IMMEDIATE CUBE OF RAIN.

But this year it was GORGEOUS!!!

Highlights included that Cinnamon got to come along :) Miguel was BACK as my right hand man. (It's so weird when he's not immediately to my right!) Pieces of Flare were flyin, my parents got to come out, one of my best friends, Deranda, and her family got to come, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!

They were telling us that the count is over 100 homes lost on base due to the flooding a few weeks ago. It's just devastating to hear the stories of loss. But everyone that I know and have talked to that lost substantial amounts in the flood all say the same thing. "It's just stuff" People that got picked up out of their homes by boats, somehow still have such a positive outlook on everything. It sure helps put things into perspective. :) A perspective that I always want to gain more of!

"Whatever It Takes" felt really good tonight. I try not to call too many slow/mid-tempo songs, for fear of the audience losing interest with the non-toe-tappers. But Lord! I may need to rethink that. It may not be the one that's gonna get heads bobbin, or feet stompin. But I have plenty of those. Ahh... the ever evolving set list and feelings ABOUT the setlist. :) Tis the life of an artist!

BOB!!! Bob's the one who hired us to play (last year and this year) And he was the last to leave even though he shouldn't have had to do any work today. Happy Birthday!!! Bob's granddaughter, and Mamma and Daddy :)


Caleb, Deranda, and Darcy!!!


Thanks y'all!!



Today was such a fun and relaxed show! It was so nice to just drive up and back - it's 3am and we're almost home! Amazing.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
