“You look different than you looked all the other times before.” You have to appreciate the innocence of a child, especially my godson’s. “That’s because I have hair again.” And this is true. It’s all the talk these days. Well, somewhat. It’s another, new identity that I have assumed. After shaving my head, people who knew me for years would pass me on the street without a clue.

It is not something that you can explain. You truly have to experience it for yourself. Be it with his banjo, dobro, or guitar, he just has a way of sucking you into his sound.

The world is full of such good people, but the task of finding them is not easy. When you are successful in finding a good soul, it’s important to not let go of him or her.

And in the present, I am meeting incredible ones that I hope will maintain for some while. A very good person has graced my life as of late, and she is providing me with inspiration long forgotten. The plans are heading towards paper, so let’s see where I’ll be in a year and a half.
