This page includes anecdotes from my life — stuff I've been thinking about, whether out on the road, at home, or on vacation.

In addition to doing CD release shows in North Carolina and Mississippi, I performed in Fayetteville and Little Rock with some wonderful musicians I'd played with last summer. So I knew I liked Arkansas, but I really fell in love with it after six hours of shooting a music video in the town of Russellville. I've been wanting to try something like that for a while, and the opportunity finally arose. The setting was a former schoolhouse now the living space of the director, Hans, and his family. Here's a photo of the main room where we did most of the filming. The natural light coming in through those long windows was a lovely sight. Between takes and set-up, they let me go to the guest room where I could relax on the four poster bed and take a nap. I was treated very well, and as a result it made my first experience of making a music video quite a pleasure.
