Where is this thing headed in 2007
Not really talking to anyone really just writing this down so it sticks better in my mind. I’m thinking about pushing this blog to be open to the public. I’m not sure how I feel about sharing some of my thoughts but I think it would help me keep accountable for writing more. I really [...]
Stoney, Stoney, Stoney…
Went up to the DFW to see Stoney and hoped to see what I figured would be a great show. It was probably one of the most fun Stoney shows I’ve ever been to. The crowds in Dallas are just so much different than anywhere else. I guess it’s because the primary form of music [...]
Johnny Cash - God’s Gonna Cut You Down

wonderin how long this black sheep can stick around” Martin Sexton
Blah. Galleywinter is my black sheep at times.
