Man-Oh-man did we ever have a blast playing at the Eagles in Jackson last weekend! What a great, great time. Thanks to all of you who came out to share in the festivities with us.
I know it's only Tuesday, but it's never too early to start planning for some fun times next weekend and we'd sure like to be a part of your entertainment agenda. We'll be playing at the Roadhouse in Jackson this coming Friday (2/26) and Saturday (2/27) nights. Please join us out there if you get a chance. Tell all your friends to show up as well, that would be awesome. In fact, tell people that you don't know at all that they should be there too. People standing in line next to you at Meijer, people on the next lane over from you at the bowling alley, people in the waiting room of your doctor's office. Tell 'em all! What's it gonna hurt? Some might say, "no thanks". But what about the ones that say, "sure thing, I'll be there!" Think of the good you'll have done for humanity, or, at the very least, the good you'll have done Dan, Rex, Jimmy and I in 6 Hands Down.
Anyhow, sure hope you can join us for one or both nights this weekend. We promise, promise, promise you that it's gonna be one howling hoot of a good time! See you there!
Until then, I'll leave you with this thought...
Time to push away your troubles.
Time to rest your worried mind.
Put it all off 'til tomorrow.
Tonight is all about good times!

Memories, memories, memories!
Oh yeah! Woke up this morning with some great Memphis memories on my mind. Thought I'd relive a bit of 'em right about now...
6 Hands Down at the 2009 IBC
And while we're on the subject of videos, here's an interview done with Rex and I right after we came off the stage at last year's Kalamazoo Blues Festival...
Wow -- I talk alot!
Note to Rex -- Sorry for not letting you get much of a word in edge-wise, bro! You know how chatty I can get.
Am realizing that video of the band is kind of lacking on the web. Hope to be remedying that issue in the not-so-distant future with the purchase of a new video cam. Please stay tuned!
Sing along with a song at top volume in your car today -- you'll feel great about it!
See you soon!

Last weekend / next weekend
Hey, all! Typing at you here to say BIG THANKS to all that came out to hang with us at the Bone Island Grill last Saturday night (2/6). It was great to be back at the B.I.G. after not playing there for a number of months. Having so many of you show up there to join in on all the fun was a huge treat for us, so, THANKS again!
This week will be taking us to a club that we've never played before and we're very excited to check it out. Friday (2/12) we'll be playing at the Mason-Holt Eagles Club. It's always cool for us to play a new venue because it usually offers up the opportunity for us to play in front of a whole new batch of people who may have never seen or heard us before. We're looking forward to the chance to make a bunch of new friends there!
This coming Sunday (2/14) plan on bringing your sweetheart out for some Valentine's Day blues at the 411 Club in Kalamazoo. We'll be playing there as part of a special fundraising series for the Kalamazoo Valley Blues Society to raise money for this year's Kalamazoo Blues Festival. We played in this event last year and had a monster time rockin' the heck outta the good folks of Kalamazoo, and we are very much looking forward to doing it all over again this coming Sunday! Please join us there if you can for some good times for a great cause!
I'll be listening to Buddy Guy and B.B. King songs in my head until I see you all soon!
All the best!

The state of things and, you know, whatever...
OK, so, I've said it before here and I'm gonna say it again (and perhaps mean it this time), I will begin really trying to update this blog on a much more regular basis. Yeah, I know, you're snickering and saying that you've heard (read) this before, but I kind of sort of really mean it this time.
That being said, here's what's on my mind lately. I've been back to writing, scribbling, sketching, formulating and piecing together ideas, thoughts, and concepts in my various personal notebooks and journals. What I've found in doing so, is what I know is going to the be the framework and brunt of a brand new 6 Hands Down CD! Along with with sitting down and putting pen or pencil to paper, I've also been working up bits and pieces of music in a very raw, demo format on my 16 track. This is a very, very exciting time for me creatively. I felt as though, for whatever reason, I was a bit stalled on the music front with new ideas. I was actually a bit worried about that concept. But I found that, like any of life's other struggles and barriers, I simply needed to power on through, and I tell you folks, I really, really like what's been starting to happen.
As I said, much of what's been happening is still in the outline, raw scraps and idea stage, but I'm really liking where it's heading. This new material and CD is going to be, as a whole, far deeper into the blues vain. After typing that, I immediately had to ask myself, "what the hell does that mean?". Well, to put it in as simple of terms as I can come up with, I'm hoping that when you finally get a chance to hear the end result, that you'll really "feel" this music in a very, very deep sense. That's my goal.
This is an awesome time in the process. Anything could happen as this all takes shape and that's really ignited a fire under me. It's consuming me and that's a good thing!
I'll keep you posted along the ride!
Please keep checking the website and try and catch some shows if you get a chance. We sure would love to see you there!
Try and smile at somebody today that you never would have thought of smiling at before. That would be a step towards all of us helping to make this world a better place!
All the best to you! Up, up and away!
