I've been fortunate to have a long and productive music career, and with so many albums to choose from, it's sometimes hard to know which songs to play when! I'm gon' shoot to play at least one from each album tonight ...

I was in between jobs,
short on corn for the cobs

Almost all the songs on "Ghost Notes" started out on the pages of a Moleskine notebook, including this one, "Don't Know What To Think Anymore," which would go on to be the album's first single. It actually made the Top 100 on the Americana/CDX charts. Quite a journey for this lil' ol' scribble ...

One of these is a fictional musician from a new movie that plays a resonator guitar and is called Preacher Boy.

The other one is a real-life musician who plays a resonator guitar and has been performing and recording under the name Preacher Boy for more than 30 years.
