New Journeys with old Friends pt.2

       So like I was saying I'm heading to N.C. keep in my mind I've been on the road pretty much since Jan. 3rd of this year, with a family it's not the easiest thing to do I give my wife a ton of credit for being so supportive.

        I get to my friends house 9 hrs later, around 7:30pm  on monday set up my gear and after a long drive just wanted to relax... We start catching up for a while waiting for his bro to get off work and I ask him what he wanted to accomplish while I'm here for only a couple days. He says he'd like to get 10 tracks done for a solid album/demo to shop around in Nashville. Right away I'm all for it, but 10 tracks could take ten days I didn't really have that time. I had just finished my last show and with some unfortunate events that took place earlier in the season like cancelled shows,  a couple weeks of getting under paid and 3 weeks of not getting paid at all, then on top of it all  having to find/pay for a new place. After our fairly new "condo" we just moved into 2 months before was found to be infested with black mold that made the wife and kids severely sick. Also made me miss a $1500 show do to moving from place to place on top of that spending $1500, and  investing $800 into my studio thinking I had money coming in to make up for it. Basically I needed to be home as soon as possible to make next months rent some how...

    10 tracks?! I was excited and nervous at the same time, I just heard him play and sing a couple of songs, so I know its not a total loss and I haven't seen my best friend in 5 yrs. so its a win/win situation....I immediately call my wife and tell her we need to make arrangements for the kids for a week or so. Click,  she wasn't too pleased but deep down I know she has an ounce of faith in me..... " We have a record to make... a hit record at that!!"
