I can almost not remember feeling this proud

One guy builds a house and he’s crazy about it all when the last brick is in place. Another one spends two years on a boat. To me it’s been that way with some of the music I make.

Southern Sickness is not as much a band as it is my therapy project. The songs are all about stuff that I like writing about and things that make me happy. There’s more than one memory for each song and they all mean much to me.

Today the pieces kind of fell together for one of them. I wrote a song called Ghost Eyes about four years ago. With the help of my good buddy Greg Girardin I managed to record a decent demo in about a day.

You gotta check it out! I’m quite proud of it coz this is what Southern Sickness is all about and if you don’t understand country music when you hear this then I have nothing more to say :)

The last five days have been great. Sleeping in the morning. Going out for breakfast or lunch. Back to Gregs place and write or record something. Watch some TV. Keep recording. Grill some burgers. Record some more.

Incredible! The skies were all dark yesterday but we kinda went anyway – and it didn’t rain at all. I finally got to see a Baseball game. That was cool enough.

Greg killed a horse and ate it. All I got to eat was veggie burgers. BBQ at the Girardin Mansion is really something else. I sure hope to come back here soon! It’s been just awesome. Shoutouts to Greg. Tomorrow I’ll be flying to Chicago and JPUSA where’ll I’ll be for two months.

Stay tuned for updates.
