I want to give you a little update here, guys.
Yesterday morning, one of my closest friends, Robert Arnold, passed away. This is one of those deals that seems unreal and I feel like it hasn’t sunk in yet. If you’ve been following along since the early days of this blog, you will recognize that Robert was the drummer in the three piece band, along with bass player Hugh Walpole, that we put together to perform stuff from the “Trouble Ain’t Over” record and other stuff at live shows.
Anyway, that’s been heavy on my mind.
No internet signal at the old campground yet so, my blog posting will remain spotty.
Yesterday afternoon, my buddy Pat Talburt graciously let me borrow one of his guitars. It’s an Epiphone J-200 which is a replica of the Gibson Jumbo. Since I do not have a quality acoustic laying around, I gladly took him up on his offer and, I can’t leave my hands off of this guitar. He told me he’d let me borrow it as long as I wanted; “maybe you’ll write a good song with it”, that sort of thing. I’m already not looking forward to giving it back.
Thirst N” Howl is at the New Key Largo in Springfield tonight and over at Cody’s South tomorrow night.

Yeah, I might. I’m not setting out to do that, if it happens that way, it just happens-you know?
