Distracted!

 I know it has been too long since I have written anything, and I'll use the same excuse I've been using at school -- I'm busy.  The truth is that at school, I can't wait for it to be over.  May 19th and I'll be a grad from high school.  People tell me I will miss it, but I don't see how.  I just finished producing a CD for my band at school.  It will be available soon, and it should be pretty good since I sing and play lead guitar on all the songs but one.  Seriously, I'm prouder of having done all of the mixing and mastering.  It took hours but I knew what I was looking for.  I built my own studio in our house so it was a chance to use it, new sound board and all.  Now, I am getting serious about my own record, and I really do plan to get it done soon.  I'm also heavy into restoring a '56 Chevy Bel Air, and I've been renting out my flight simulator to a flight instructor who has been training some Vietnamese pilots -- really!  They pay to use my 727 sim (see www.727simulator.com) but I have to run the software and be there the entire time.  Somewhere in all of that, I'm still at BB's twice a week, go to school, and have a girlfriend.  Yeah, she is very understanding.

So, now that I have bored you with all of that, you at least know at little bit more about all that I have going on.  I hope the summer will bring some clarity about my career, but at least, I know that I will go to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Memphis Campus this fall.  

Coming up: I'll be missing a few dates at BB's in the coming weeks - prom (April 21), my gf's graduation (May 18), and the big one...May 4 because we will be playing at the Beale Street Music Festival!  Please put that Friday night on your calendar and plan to see us in the FedEx Blues Tent at 7:45.  And finally, check me out with Rodd, my drummer, and his dad, Bobby Blue Bland, on Music Voyager, April 19th at 9 pm on WKNO- Channel 10, here in Memphis.  If you live in another city, check with your PBS station for when they are showing Music Voyager - Memphis Mojo.  Some people have written that they have already seen in their city.

Okay, that was too much, so I should wlrite more often and keep it shorter.  Thanks for being a fan, and I hope you check us out at BB's and the Beale Street Music Festival during April and May.  Keep playing the blues, Will
