FINALLY! An update…

Well, I’ve taken today off from work because I feel like I’m coming down with a bug of some sort so I have some time to write.

Big things happening! First and foremost, I’m HOME! Six weeks away from home on a business trip is a looooong damned time to be away when you’re still a newlywed. I’ve spent a total of 4 and a half months on the road for work this year. I don’t think I’m doing that again next year. I missed Carrie and Kash way too much. The upside is I DID get to go see my oldest son, Robert while I was down there. We had a great visit and had lots of fun. I did make the mistake of taking him to see “Borat,” though. That movie was messed up! I put some new photos of my visit with Robert, my Mom, Grandma, Uncle Bub, and Mike up in my gallery.

Another thing – My Uncle Bub (his real name is Clyne but he was “Uncle Bubby” when I was a kid so he’s still “Bub” to me) was the reason I got interested in music in the first place. I remember when I was still really little visiting his house was always a treat because he had a Moog he would play, and sometimes he’d even play the them from the old BBC series “Doctor Who” for me. We’d stay up too late and watch PBS when Dr. Who and Monty Python came on. I loved it! Well, he’s gotten back in to music and he asked for some music by my band so I gotta send a CD and a DVD down to him.

This brings me to the next major thing – the band. We are booked like MAD up into February and we’re getting more gigs all the time. We video taped our show at an all-ages venue called Factory13 and it was a great show. By great show, I mean the audience was awesome and we had a fantastic time. The energy was phenomenal! We all had a few fluffed notes and such, but this was my first live show with our new guitarist, Jared Asay. BTW, if you don’t know who the band members are in LoveCrymes, it’s me, Brandon, and Jared. Anyway, we’ve got most of the songs from our December 1, 2006 show on our YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/lovecrymes. Tell your friends and let them know if you think they’d like our music!
