Saw several old friends and met a bunch of new ones. All three shows were packed and a good time was had by everyone...Gotta say, it was a GREAT way to start a year!&nbsp;</p></div>

  <div class="message"><p>Driving into Sweetwater, TX last night. It must've been around 12:30 am. Dark night, long highway, getting a little sleepy. Suddenly I saw what must've been a thousand red lights about a hundred feet off the ground, separated from one another by a couple hundred yards, all flashing in unison and stretching for miles off into the horizon.....Eerie sight. A Texas wind farm at night.</p></div>

I settle in to do some booking and online work and a Med-Evac helicopter lands in the hospital landing area located right behind my room! I hope they're okay, whoever they are, but the irony made me chuckle.</p></div>

  <div class="message"><p>Crossing the desert between Arizona and New Mexico today I witnessed a strange thing. The clouds overhead were traveling in the same direction that I was, and at close to the same speed. So their shadows were traveling down the highway much like another car. Sometimes I'd pass one, then awhile later it would pass me...It made me laugh out loud.</p></div>

New songs written and more on the way resulting in a backlog of material for the new album....:^)</p></div>

Well, it didn't work out the last time but I managed to include it this trip and I have to say I'm very glad I did. It's a mining town from the 1800s and a lot of the character from that time still exists. well worth the detour.&nbsp;</p>
