We Leave Tomorrow For Memphis...

Wow!  How could the days have flown by so quickly.  We leave tomorrow for Memphis by way of Nashville for a few days.  Each day for the last 3 weeks has been filled with practice, practice, practice.  I feel fortunate to be in a position that allows me to lock away, as we call it, and really concentrate on my music.  Last weekend I had a blast meeting lots of you at the PBPS Memphis or Bust event in Greensboro.  The on Saturday I was surprised by how many of you showed up at Basin Creek. Lots of folks have offered advice, helped me choose songs, etc.  Lots of folks ask, are you ready? I guess the answer is we'll see.  I think I'm as ready as I could be.  I keep over-analyzing song selection and order of songs but other than that the last few times through each set has been as close to perfect as I can do it. Now that the technical portion is over I just need to remember to stay slow and play with feeling.  One of my music buddies from Greensboro told me a few days ago that I should not worry... you can't loose... heck, you made it to Memphis.  :-) I guess he's right and I feel honored to be among 83 of the best solo/duo acts around.

So today will be full of packing for the trip, a trip to load everything on the motorhome and de-winterize it and one final day of practice.  Where did the days go?  :-)  I can remember when I started this BLOG I had over 100 days to prepare.

Thanks for reading, for your words of encouragement, your financial support and for being part of this journey.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you.  By the way, if you're coming to Memphis, please call me and let me know you're there... I'd like to make sure I get to see you.  Until then...
