Happy Holidays! Been a long time since I updated anything here. Truth is, it's been a pretty active year playing out and writing songs, getting to meet people and working on the craft. I've got a bunch of stuff to record and I've got a pretty good run of shows lined up for next year. Hoping to bring on some other musicians, hit the studio, make it to the coasts, play a festival or two, that kinda stuff. 

Anyway, my daughter and I put together this funny bit last year sometime and I didn't feel it was worth posting until the season was right. That, and it took me ten months to sit down for about 30 seconds and record the resonator slide-guitar part. 

Enjoy. Again, Happy Holidays. Hope to see you out there next year!

I wrote a song called Chasing Heartache a while back. It's a witty tune on the well traversed subject of drinking away a broken heart. I'm not in the habit of writing humorous or light-hearted lyrics. It didn't seem like a song for me.

Then, I started thinking about how much I joke with my friends and family. It's a part of me that doesn't come through in music. How come? Well, that line of thinking led to me play Chasing Heartache live. Now, I work out my ideas for fun songs.

When my flight got delayed at the airport, I went to the bar and asked if it was too early for a beer. It was 9am. Is it too early in the morning to start drinking? A song was born. 

I was talking to my kids about a song, the name of which I couldn't recall. I can't remember the name of the song and it's killing me. That's the name of a song I'm working on, and the first line of the chorus.

I'm no comedian, but I like to laugh and I try to be quick-witted in person. These kinds of songs, for me, are rooted in old country. It's good to find the humor in a bad situation and too keep from cultivating to serious a view of oneself. 

So, here you have Wrong Day to Quit Drinking. Cheers!
