  • Plans for This Summer

    It’s official! I bought my plane ticket to Denver this morning, for a trip this summer to the Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming. Ever here of it? If you’re an outdoorsy type, you probably have. For a whole week in August, we’ll be concerning ourselves with nothing more than backpacking, trout fishing, and day hiking. Well, of course I’ll have a guitar. And plenty of time to write, for sure. But I’m afraid that I won’t be doing much climbing while I’m there…

    Getting outdoors helps me recharge my batteries – mentally, physically, emotionally; and I’m really looking forward to spending some time with good friends, basking in the glory exuded by nature, and remembering again what it’s like to live simply. Here’s a picture from the USGS of the Cirque of Towers – right where we’ll be.

  • I Can’t Wait

    I can’t wait to see my brother on Sunday. He has been away – pretty much since the beginning of the year – at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. It will be good to see him and hang out over his Spring Break. At least, I think we’ll be able to. (I haven’t confirmed with him yet if he already has plans for his time off.)

    This is going to be a busy weekend for me again. It pretty much always seems to fall that way. Tomorrow, Saturday, I’m recording all day with my friend Gary, for our band The City. (Learn more about our project on our website: http://thecitymusic.com.) And on Sunday afternoon, I’ll be at my brother’s glee club concert, which happens to be in the next town over from me.

    Are you doing anything special this weekend?
