I don't think Hank done it this way...

I have spent 6 hours listening to the book "So Lonesome" by Bill Koon about Hank Williams. It is insightful and a really well written biography, one of the best I've ever delved into, although I can't say I'm much of a guy to read biographies. I never considered myself a book on tape guy, but by all means, it was a really relaxing way to spend my time...

I need to begin looking into publishing my songs under ASCAP or some other publishing company. Been very interested in music lately, my voice has been wavering in and out of sounding great. This summer I hope to book as many gigs as I possibly can. So much about the problems of the heart can be sung about so vibrantly! This biography has really shown me this. I've been rather filled with angst lately about music and direction, but I feel some flow to what I am doing at this point and really enjoy it. I would really appreciate to have a song writing partner and perhaps do a duet with my friend Michael, we sing really pretty harmony together and I think we could be a real force to be reckoned with, we take what we do rather seriously.

In all honesty I have been pretty boring lately.



I did do this Townes Van Zandt cover I was pretty happy with on a whim. Man I need to shave.
The weather is getting better, I am so sick of being cold. I will never spend another cold winter in my life, what a pain. Move to Austin this winter!

I think I may be getting a nice summertime apartment downtown. Keep you posted
