Whoa nelly! Sleep studies are serious business!

Look at all the stuff attached to me! And some over my heart, some all
over the back of my head, some on my legs. Hope I can sleep with all
this stuff on me!

Old Settler's Music Fest

A fantastic time. So fun to play with friends Jenny Reynolds and Ben
Mallott - especially closing the set with The Return of the Grievous
Angel.

But also REALLY fun meeting new friends, like Spen here...

return of the 80's

just thought i would share...i didn't even realize until i was sitting here working - how 80's i looked while jogging today. it's scary.

...and yes, leggings were involved.

The Blue Door

So happy to play the Blue Door last night. Greg is one of the sweetest, most hilarious, fun and gracious guys in the biz. He's there for the songs and the musicians and the listeners, not for any of the stuff that distracts from the music. I know Charlie Faye fell in love with playing there last night. I wish I could be here all the time. I may be a stranger in OKC, but the Blue Door feels a lot like home.

Sam Houston

Driving from Houston to Oklahoma City, Charlie Faye snapped a photo of this icon from my childhood...we saw him every time we went to high school graduation each spring. He's actual size. Okay, maybe he's a little bigger than that. Like 20% bigger than actual size. I'm convinced those must be mini-trees.

Everything is coming up roses

I am so happy my roses are blooming. I got to enjoy them for about 15 minutes before leaving town again, but it was worth it.

Gave some to my mom in Houston, my inspiration for growing them in the first place. I'll never forget the roses she grew when I was a kid. Look how pretty she is!

Sean's Song

In fond memory of Sean Ervin

Pouring sugar in your coffee
Stains left on your paper plate
See the bands around your wrist
See the outline of your face

I see the yellow of your hair
See the gentleness of your smile
I see the road's curve in my mind
And you flying by

I knew you such a brief sweet breath
Still in your dawn
What I'd give to sit with you again
I'd stay a little long - a little longer than I did
The last time that I saw you
Days before I heard you were gone

I remember things I said
I wish I never had
I remember ways I put you down
Ways I made you sad

I remember how you laughed
Like it never really pained you
And no one can recall
A single time that you complained

I knew you such a brief sweet breath
Still in your dawn
What I'd give to sit with you again
I'd stay a little long - a little longer than I did
The last time that I saw you
Days before I heard you were gone
