Well, we’ve got one date to go on the “Today Is The Day” Lincoln Brewster tour and I wanted to give y’all a well-overdue update. My wife isn’t here. ‘Nuff said. Forgot my guitar in Sacramento – this happens when your wife isn’t around. Wives are good. So I’ve got one more show with Lincoln’s McPherson before I can get my Baden back which was graciously lent to me by T.J. Baden. Here’s a link to the website. Go check’em out! http://www.badenguitars.com. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write. We’ve been working our butts off. It’s tremendous to see the way God has used every event to impact people’s hearts. There’s always a challenge, when pointing people to Jesus, in making sure that we don’t point to the religion of doing church, rather than just Jesus. I think we’ve been able, albeit in a musical fashion, to point people to Him. 

I’d like to think I’m also leaving this tour a better guitarist. I won’t ever be a Lincoln Brewster shredder… but I’m okay with that He’s a tremendous talent and I’ve learned a whole lot from him and everyone on the tour. Thanks for the laughs Lincoln. These gents have done a tremendous job of pulling this tour together. I look forward to coming back to Cali and spending some time with them. A few shout-outs are in order… Jon Bryant, you’re crazy… and I love it. Your video vigilance varies very vastly. Mark Johnston, dude… thanks for the eye-opening live performance info Mike Johns & Will Weisman – can’t wait to demo our new song! All the best on Breko. Steve & Norm – You guys are a serious inspiration. I look forward to hanging again at the S4W events. C.J. Alverado, you’re loved by these guys. You’re such an obvious leader and it’s awesome to see how much you love these guys. Adam Duncan – you are a sound phenom. Tremendous job my friend. Thanks for all your organizational prowess as well. Dave Carr – please never mention we met… thanks Richard Aaronson – Thanks for the continued prayer and amazing heart. And thanks for the difficult job of following the bus in a box-truck

This has been a tremendous experience and one I will never forget. Quite a blast. I’m looking forward to the last date of the tour in Yuba City, and to seeing my lovely wife back home – but I’m going to miss these boys. It’s amazing how a bus and some highway miles can bring people together. Take a roadtrip with someone you love… It’s awesome.
