Tahlequah

A gig in Tahlequah and not getting home til 5:15 A.M. really makes one tired. So I've started playing with red dirt artist Kevin Pickett and Southern Rain. Man, these guys can really play. It's been an absolute blast playing with these guys. We went up to Tahlequah yesterday to play another show at a place called the Broken Spoke. Pretty cool place. A bit live as far as sound goes, concrete floors, and metal ceiling, but all around, a cool place to play. Big stage, lots of room on the dance floor. Anyhoo, met some pretty interesting people up there. Looking forward to Wichita Falls next week. I think these guys could actually be starting to see why I do this. It's not about the partying, it's about the music, and putting on a good show. What these guys don't see just yet is why I'm doing this. I've gotten a chance to be able to live a life that Christ is blessing me with and having an effect on them. They see that I don't drink, or smoke, anything else for that matter, and they ask," Why don't you drink?", or "Why don't you smoke?", and I have the chance to share my story with them. I know it's having an effect on a couple of the guys. If it has any effect on their lives at all, and I have the chance to continue to have an influence on them, then I'm doing what Christ has called me to do. I certainly hope that these guys continue to ask me questions and begin to see why I do this.
