Wow. One word. Good or bad? Both.
2023 felt like the first year things were finally getting back to what we call "normal". Normal? One word. Good or bad? Both.
Normal. What is it? Is it what we accept? Or is it what we expect? Bit of both I reckon. I started to feel like my normal self, such as that is. It's been a long 3 years since Covid completely turned my world upside down, personally and professionally. Does it feel like a dream? Yea, sometimes it does. Like it never happened. Like it happened, but to someone else. I don't know.
The album I started working on over 2 years ago is nearing completion. Finally. It's been a long road. Such a long road. Over 40 years long. I can't wait to show it to you, even though there are videos for most of the songs, mostly in acoustic form. Hope you've checked them out? If not, please do.
I have a couple other album's worth of songs written and ready. We'll see where that goes. I'll let you know, and I hope you go along.
I had a lot of cool gigs in 23. Toured Mississippi and Georgia and some other deep south shows. Felt like I was home. Mississippi is basically West Virginia rolled out flat. I saw so much history and felt it in my bones. Muddy. Elmore. Robert. R.L.. Ghosts.
Hot as hell. And I loved every minute of it.
Spent a lot of time in North Carolina. Always feels like home, because it is. I can hear my ancestors whispering to me every time I'm there. They know me. I feel them. Come home. Stay. I will, one day. Patience.
Home. One word. Good or bad? Both.
Here's to 2024. Good or bad. Probably both.
