No New Song to Sing

Long time no post....

I just finished Blue Like Jazz....there's a lot I'd like to say about that book... I really enjoyed it, but I will save it for another post. Right now I just want to draw all readers attention to:
www.freederekwebb.com

Derek Webb is my all-time favorite artist, and his latest album: Mockingbird is available for free download. Derek is making the album available to the public to generate more dialogue regarding the issues raised. I encourage everyone to check it out.

A few of my favorite tunes on the record:

Mockingbird
Rich Young Ruler
A King and a Kingdom
My Enemies are Men Like Me

Erin and I are off to Julia's dad's lakehouse somewhere near Gun Barrel City, TX.....
This will be Battlecat's longest roadie, and a true test of her ability to listen as she will be off leash roaming the lake with Tank and Trolley.

Please check out the album - it's amazing... even if you think the music sucks.... listen to the lyrics.

I finished Blue Like Jazz earlier this summer and will be looking forward to reading your thoughts. I'm about a third of the way into Through Painted Deserts--I'll have to let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the push toward freederekwebb.com. I agree with you...Derek has a lot to say and doesn't pull any punches. I really respect what he is trying to do.

Hey thanks for the comment on my page. I actually found out Johnny is from Duchesne while in Portland. He says to tell you hello. He is doing great!
