November Is Always Complex

I find that November never fails to be busy, complicated and beautiful. A year ago, I was on tour in Northern Ireland with my old band Rudisill. Today, I’m in Nyack, New York on tour with Katie Nelson, playing my solo stuff. The tour is going well and yesterday I was able to pick up my Somewhere Between Nicaragua & New York CD’s at the DiscMakers factory in Pennsauken, NJ. I’m excited for everyone to get a copy of it. The packaging really turned out nicely.

The last few days have been a blur of new places, faces and pavement. We’ve been in 9 or 10 states and seen almost every major city in the New England area. There’s so much I’d like to do and see while I’m out here, but time is not permitting a lot of it. We drove up the coast of New Hampshire and a bit of Maine, enjoyed an evening in Boston, and spent a half a day exploring lower Manhattan. While in Boston, we ate at an Irish pub called The Black Rose. The warm atmosphere and traditional food and music made me feel like I was actually in Ireland. Makes me miss my Irish friends. Can’t wait to see you all again. Thanks for calling us!

Anyway, today, we’re headed up to Syracuse to spend about a week at my sister Kelly’s house, playing music, celebrating Thanksgiving and several birthdays. Tomorrow, most of my family will be coming out too, to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Can’t wait to cook that meal! My nephew Trey, who turns 1 on the 28th (the day after my birthday), recently fell and broke his two front teeth. He had to have them removed, so he won’t have any front teeth until his adult teeth grow in. What a bummer. I know what song he’ll be singing every Christmas for the next few years!

Well, I have to go soon, but I hope you are all doing well. Please let me know what you are up to, how and where you’ll be celebrating the holidays and what you think of my new music (once you have your copy).

Talk soon,

Scott
