<p>The Southwest Spring Tour has been canceled. What started out with high hopes was seriously damaged by unnecessary aggravation, but that would turn out to be the least of it. There was more to it than I could know at the time. After flying half-way around the world and driving half-way across the country it all came to a head. My plans to offset the cost of moving my stuff back to Texas and establishing my name locally were seriously undermined. An oportunist was hustling me.<br> <br> The bassist on the tour had…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/writings/blog/6064293/southwest-tour-canceled">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>British magazine Blues Matters informed me that they've passed on my Jill Jones article but intend to run the Lynyrd Skynyrd article I wrote for them. This greatly disappoints me for many reasons
It seems that anybody who is not a black American regards Prince and his former associates as "80's Pop" rather than R&amp;B. I've been listening to Prince since Jill stood behind the keyboard with Lisa Coleman in the "1999" video and have never understood this mentality. How could somebody who mixed James Brown,…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/writings/blog/6064292/same-old-cliches">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Over the holiday season Derek Sivers sent out an e-mail soliciting volunteers for his latest project. Various musicians would read one of his two favorite authors, Hugh MacLeod and Seth Godin, and write about how their ideas applied to being an independent musician in this day and age. He would send a copy of their latest book and you had 3 weeks to read it and write a Blog. Out of 400 volunteers 17 were chosen. To be one of the 17 who made the cut is a great honor; Derek has done more to change the face…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/writings/blog/6064291/ignoring-everybody">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>2009 was a rough year for a lot of folks, and I'm no exception, but as I sit here writing this on December 31st the good stands out and bad becomes "necessary self-correcting measures"
The album I was working on, LONG WAY FROM HOME, was shelved halfway through recording. It sucked and I stewed over it for quite a while, but now that it appears the album will be finished elsewhere with a different rhythm section it looks like I'll have two halves that together will make both an accurate musical diary and…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/writings/blog/6064290/2009-in-review">Read more</a></span></div>
