Wow...

I got a message last night requesting a new post on here, and realizing that it has been over two months, it seems necessary that I do some updating.

We have all been extremely busy. The kids are back in school, Shelly's teaching school, I'm still engineering on overnights and juggling the music business, and Duff- well he's being the dutiful little dog that he is. I guess to say that we are always on the go might well be an understatement.

We have also had a lot of fun since I last posted. Of course the band (www.tennesseerealtime.com) played the Wilson County Fair back in late August. The fair was great, Shelly brought the boys twice; once with their cousins, aunt, and uncle, from Birmingham, Al, and once with my parents. Shelly also came another night with one of her friends. We also took the boys down to Atlanta for a family weekend with Shelly's parents at the zoo, cyclorama, and Six Flags. Coming up in the near future Shelly and I will be heading down to Gainesville to take in a Gator football game.

The band has also been working hard. We've had our first studio session getting prepared for putting some songs out. We also played over at Oktoberfest in Lebanon, Tn., and will be playing at the USAGEM annual conference/awards in Dickson, Tn., in November. We'll also be doing some private gigs here and there next month. We are getting a new presser out right now and hope to be hitting some hot spots here in the next few months before the spring festivals kick back up. I'll try and keep you posted. If you haven't done so already check out www.tennesseerealtime.com, there's a link to our page on Facebook where we keep all our upcoming dates posted.

I do apologize for not being more regular in my posting. I love to write and this has, for the recent few months, been a nice outlet for that. Whether it has been something on my mind, something going on in our family life, or sharing some of my older writings, it is fun for me to be able to share a little bit of my heart with you. Lately my heart sharing has been more consumed in songwriting, as Tennessee Real Time is really pushing to get some original work out on the airwaves after the first of the year. So not to say I do not love to share with everyone here, but I have really been pushing myself to my creative limits and have been steering clear of some things that take any effort away from my other writing.
