I’ve had to push back the recording of the new record a few weeks. In any studio, time is money and that’s where it starts after the song is written. We’ve been blessed with the beginnings through the supporters of “Black Tuesdays” and the involvement of sponsors directly. I am a lucky man. We’re getting closer.
If you know someone who would like to be involved in the process of helping to build this CD, It would be a good turn, to turn them on. It’s an exchange of music and belief. Simple. Let it be known that I am not blind to the current state of the dollar and all the twists that go into making things work. My hat is off to the ones who make music a big part of their lives. The ones who never let them shake the magic dust off of what it means to dance or sit still listening to a picture that makes us feel good.
It is certainly not something for nothing though. Subscriptions, catalogs of music, Michael Wilson prints, private concerts, good karma, and even a shot at my 1983 Dodge Ram should calm any skeptics. Pass it on…
And thank you

In this episode of Black Tuesdays “An Evil Lesson Is Soon Learned”, “Sunday Falling” and “A Day”. Thanks for listening…
I am scheduled to start recording the last week of October.
I’m going to do a majority of the tracking at House Of David in Nashville. The mastering studio and engineer is to be determined.
I’ve talked with Michael Wilson about documenting the sessions. If you own any of my records then you are very familiar with his photography.
The list of musicians I’ll invite to play will come along after scheduling and logistics. It’s a list of people I have wanted to work with for a long time. I wanted to have my house in order before I invited them in and with this collection of songs I can say I am looking forward to documenting every note and still under the roof that the muse can muster.
The wheels of show business turn mighty slow so I am grateful for your patience and generosity. Pass the idea of contributing along if you have a friend that you think would like to be a part of sponsoring the music. The machinery has changed in the music industry and so, without getting into that which, you already know, I have to be vocal here again in that it’s the people and not the old machine, who are saving it for the artists. You’ve always made the difference, especially in my life and, I am deeper in your debt for it.
I’ve been going through upwards of 60 demos and counting, to choose the songs for this project. The first of a series I have no doubt. I can’t even begin to talk about how excited we all are around here to get this train moving…thank you, thank you.

Early 90’s Redux
Dave Pomeroy and I co-produced these demos at Sound Emporium and Warner Chappell studios in Nashville around 1991-92. I thought we were making a record then until I got a little sidetracked by the machinery. That’s another story. David Sinko engineered, Dave Pomeroy, who introduced me to Sam Bush, played bass. Kenny Malone on drums, Eric Silver on fiddle, mandolin and dulcimer. Mike Noble and I played the acoustic guitars.
There’s another group of songs where Sam Bush played mandolin and fiddle and Pete Wasner joined us on piano and B-3 along with Sam Bacco on percussion and Larry Chaney on electric guitar. I’ll dust those out next time. These tracks in this episode were on the first studio outing Dave and I jumped into. Songs in this set are “Honey Don’t Let Me Go”, “Round And Around”, and “Little Pieces At A Time”. All of these will be on a record in an anthology sometime next year. Thanks for listening.

Ken Coomer introduced me to Jay Bennett in 1996. He was a friend of mine. The kind you meet and have a kinship with right off. We had sent a couple of emails back and forth over the years and as recent as a few weeks ago, but it never seemed to me that much time passed in between. I’m sorry we didn’t get to collaborate after Birmingham Road. The throws of a creative life and the road between the house and the studio measures out differently for everyone. He left his mark and contribution on recordings all over the world. During the recording of Birmingham Road in Austin at Pedernales Studio, he was the one that found the Maestro Rover phaser in the back room and plugged it into the wall. He’s all over that record and I’ll smile when it filters past that I knew him and that we shared a story. He was always encouraging to me in this quest and I am fortunate to have spent a little time in Texas and Nashville with him on his way through. Into the mist then there young man, into the mist…

Neighbourhood, size, numbers, habits, persons, lose by degrees their power over us. Cause and effect, real affinities, the longing for harmony between the soul and the circumstance, the progressive, idealizing instinct, predominate later, and the step backward from the higher to the lower relations is impossible.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Love” Essays First Series {1841}
This episode of Black Tuesdays includes “Good Old Days”, “Waiting”, “New Love Song” and “To Be With You” from “B-Sides And Confessions Volume I”. Thanks for listening.

Songs in this episode include “I Don’t Know”, “Moses In The Bullrushes”. That rain and thunder in the background is in real time. All I had to do was open the door. Right or wrong I kept this version. PLUS “Standing Still” from the digital release of “Mining”. “Remember The Indians” from the digital release of “Sleepy Town” closes.
I ran onto Percy crying in the rain across the street from the barn a few years back. I knew then we couldn’t make it work. I couldn’t turn away. I’d been with her kind before and it made me miserable. I let her know just like I did Belle Star some years before that it couldn’t last. The whole damn experience left me with watering eyes and too many questions. After she was gone I did the only thing I knew to do, the only thing I could do about it with conviction. I wrote an esoteric song “I Don’t Know” about being allergic to cats. Thanks for listening…
