Brother Larry in outer space
It’s been a good and busy week. I’ve been getting to work in a production role with two great artists and friends. I did eight songs for Kevin Lawson and today started work on a tune of Randall Goodgame’s for BriteRevolution.com. Once that song is finished I’ll start mixing Kevin’s stuff.
It’s been fun at Sputnik these days. Vance is working with the White Stripes, Mitch has been doing tracks for this killer band called The Four Kicks and Josh has been in the closet behind me making weird objects make strange noises, generally out of other weird objects that no longer work. It’s been a good place to be.
The girls are so much fun right now. They’re alive to the Spring, telling us all about the bugs that live in the grass, scouting out the dandelions and just feeling the urge to run, jump and shout for no other reason than that they can. Maybe that’s not the weather, but whatever it is it feels right, and it’s a joy to watch.
Alison and I have been doing the spring cleaning, and that’s been refreshing, and I’ve been trying to do the same with my mind. The guys in my neighborhood have started reading an ancient little book called “Scientology”. It’s a great combination of aliens and religion.
I’m kidding. We’re reading Brother Lawrence, “Practicing the Presence of God”. It’s simple, but wholly overwhelming, showing us what it might actually look like to take every thought captive and live like we really believe we are new beings with the Spirit of God alive inside of us. I’d tell you more, but I have so little I feel like I understand. I just know that I want the Truth to change who I am, and so I ought to seek the Truth more often.
Anyway, I guess that’s it for now. Oh, come to Nashville this Monday night. A bunch of other people are. The show’s at 8. Dinner at 5:30 sound good to all you out-of-towners? My favorite BBQ place closed down, so I’m hurting for ideas of a good place for a group of 15 or so non-locals who need to experience real Nashville. Anybody have suggestions?

5:30 sounds great, Andy. Just let us know where. Looking forward to seeing everybody.

5:30 is fine. I keep thinking that we need to go to Monell’s, but then we’d all be asleep for the show.

I just noticed that the timezone setting in WordPress is way off. This comment merely exists to see if it’s fixed…

Awesome to hear what you’re up to and what you’re reading. I thank God for people like the people in your neighborhood.

That Four Kicks song that you can download from the website has a pretty sweet sound.
