November 2: Winston-Salem, NC

Greetings from Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

I’m back again. As it would seem, this is quite the popular stop for myself, but it just plain makes sense. It’s about 7 hours from Akron. It’s right off 77, so it’s on the way to any city in NC, and I have friends in town, so I can stay for free, so tonight I booked a show at Finnigan’s Wake in downtown Winston for the fun of it, and it was fun. My buddy Jerry came out, and some folks from down here. I met some new people like Rachel, and Melissa, and I got to play some music. For free food, who could turn that down?

The drive down was alright. The days are definitely getting shorter. It was dark near Charlston, WV, this time, but I downloaded some podcasts to keep me company on the way down, and that made the trip.

I wanna show you guys a video from my buddy Jerry Chapman. He’s a fellow artist from down here in NC. He was in Nashville the same week as me working with producer Mitch Dane, the dude I worked with in 2005. Jerry had his camera with him while he was in the studio, so I thought I’d share it with ya’ll and you could get a glimpse of Sputnik, the birthplace of half of my new record “Eighty-nine”. Check it out.

Tomorrow, it’s off to Wilmington again. Hope to see you there!
