Almost there, almost there…
Andrew Peterson just stuck his head out of his bunk as I was opening the door from the back of the bus and the sound of the door and the head colliding was thunderous. Poor guy. I’m sorry I laughed.
We’re stopping at a Chik-Fil-A in Knoxville right now, on our way home from New York for a day and a half off. That will be good. Both the Chik-Fil-A AND the day off. It’s been a good first week of the tour. No drama, great crowds, much laughter, physical education, etc… but it will be very good to be home for a bit.
My friend Stephen passed this link along to me of Christianity Today’s review of my second Letters project. CLICK HERE. It’s a very nice review, and I’m thankful. For anyone interested you can purchase both volumes, and some bonus tracks, on CD right HERE or download Vol. II HERE.
All right, I believe the chicken has made its way onto the bus, so I’m going to post this before I lose this borrowed internet connection. Thanks to everyone who’s made it out to a show so far. You guys have been amazing. Next stop: home. Then, Florida!

Andy,
I saw the Christmas Tour when you performed at Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN. I came with three of our four children and all of use thoroughly enjoyed the songs. My 14yo especially loved the instrumental numbers. We wished for more. We also wished they would’ve let you “jam” a little more.
How many stringed instruments are you traveling with? We counted 23. What’s the real number.
Thanks for helping us get into the mood AND right frame of mind for the season.

Can’t wait to see you guys in Charlotte next week!

YAWN.
Wonder what everybody’s doing? Sounds like folks are awake. I guess I’d better get up.
YAWN.
Let’s see, where did I leave my phone? Ah, there it is. Now, I just have to stick my head out of the curtain and climb down–
BLAM!
What year is it? Who’s the president? Why does my head hurt so bad?
And why is that guy with the pedal board in his lap laughing at me?

Thank you, Andy, for sharing “Hold the Light” when the tour stopped in Orlando. It was said at the start of the concert that there might be a song heard that someone needed to hear. I did not expect to be one of those people! “Hold the Light” came to me during a very hurtful & difficult time. It was a few dear friends & family who held the light for me when I could not do it for myself. It was a great surprise to hear it during a Christmas concert, but as always, it was God’s timing. God had been speaking to me through out the week, helping me to move on from the situation and asking me to be more obedient. Your song, once again, helped me listen to what I needed to hear. God is good, all the time!

Hey Andy, Thank you for coming to Oak Mountain Pres Monday night. My daughter and I loved the show. (sorry, but) We are still lauging at Gully’s Roast Beef song. You have such an amazing talent and we enjoyed the show so much. We’re still talking about it, and everytime we’re in the car, the CD is playing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for blessing us this Holy Season. Blessings to you and your lovely ‘Austenesque’ family!

I’m only somewhat familiar with your music but I see that you’re going to be at the Behold The Lamb of God tour tonight in Kokomo. I’m looking forward to the concert and checking out more of your stuff!
