Notes from the Road as usual, i'm apologizing for not writing in so long. we are indeed on a break, and i am indeed trying to catch up on rest, but believe it or not my schedule still hasn't normalized. it's weird though. it's like, you go from living in a zoo everyday, with people all around and not a minutes privacy, to coming home and seeing no one all day, and having nothing to do. there's a strange dynamic to this vocation. i suppose i'll get used to it. please don't get me wrong, it's incredible to have this kind of time on my hands, but i really just don't know what in the world to do with it sometimes. i'm the kind of person who really works best under pressure (even though i complain under pressure as well). if i don't have deadlines and stress and stuff like that, i just can't get anything done. isn't that funny? i'm really missing being on the road. i'm missing spending so much time with the band. i'm missing not knowing what state i'm in night to night. some of the best and only friends that i have in the world are in this band, and there's something that happens out there stage that we only share with each other, but when we're not on the road we're all doing our own thing. i'm just a total homebody. i spend 18 hours of my day in my room. i just like to spend time at home, and with my folks and my brother. it seems like lately i've been spending all my time answering email. we've been getting a lot lately. anyway, i think that i'm just having being-off-the-road away-from-your-friends-and-it's-the-holidays-and-i-don't-know-what-day-of-the-week-it-is anxiety. that's all. it'll pass. oh, by the way. i'm not sure how ethical this is, but i actually wanted to mention something. i'm selling one of my guitars. it's one of my martins that i've had on the road for a while, so it's got a little wear on it, but it's still a fabulous guitar. i would love to pass it on to someone who would promise to play it. for those guitar buffs, it's a martin m-38 (grand auditorium). it's a gorgeous guitar, and it sounds great. we actually used it on a lot of the recording that we've done. i've still got all the papers, and it's still got the same pick-up configuration in it that's in all of our guitars. if you're not too far away from houston (college station, waco, austin, etc.) then i'll even bring it to you. any serious inquiries can email me at ecaedmon@aol.com, or scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you can email me from there. the sooner the better... thanks for humoring my questionable ethics in posting this. i'm leaving on tuesday afternoon for kansas city to visit a friend, and i'll be back on the 16th, but i'll have my little powerbook with me so you can still email me. i'm going to go watch the movie 'truman' with my dad, but i'll write again when i get home from kansas city, if not sooner. i hope that your exams are going well if you're having exams. hang in there. we're praying for y'all. i hope to hear from some of you soon. thanks for your patience.
take care. i'll talk to you soon- |
