Hello again...

Well I was reading some past posts and thinking that I haven't written a personal post in quite a while. As for life, it's really great. My mood of late has been very positive. There have been a few changes including: a new internship in downtown Nashville, some old friends moving into town, and the final phase of law school admissions.

To the family, Jackson is now crawling and Aakyah just had her fourth birthday. Hard to believe. Brookes is once again enthralled in the world of tanning. And I am happy.

I spent the morning running down some old songs on the 6-string and feel like getting my harmonicas out to jam with myself. This has definitely added to my positive vibe, as many of you know my all-time-favorite pastime.

And speaking of favorite pastimes, I have been reviewing the Panic New Years Shows (for torrents click here and here, and just saw a link for my second panic show ever!!! more to come on that) And WOW!! Jimmy Herring is finally beginning to come into his own with the band. I think, over his first year, he had to learn the songs. And now, he is PLAYING the songs. He is truly one of the most talented guitar players out there and is the true spark the band has needed. Highlights include...

12/30/07: Dirty Business > Better Off, check out the slide work going into DB, truly sick; Goin' Out West, great intro by Schools. North, Papa's Home, always great songs, have to say the first set is better than the second. DB > BO really blew my mind!!!

12/31/07: Acoustic first set, killer Life During Wartime > Machine in the second, along with the new song, Up All Night. This song has actually grown on me quite a bit since listening to the single, really a song better experienced live. Just now really getting into the third set awesome slow Ain't Life Grand intro, I wish they would play the whole thing slow to see how it sounds, the jam on the end of Bust it Big is also nasty!!! This is as far as I've gotten, so more to come.

I am really stoked about this new Jackson show '98, more to come on this. Until then...
