Getting Started

PLEASE NOTE: I have now placed the posts in chronological order from oldest to last. As you follow this blog and reach the bottom of the page, you will have to click "older posts" to keep reading in that chronological order. (I know it sounds weird but chalk it up to tech stuff.)

So here we go:

January 4, 2007

Hey everyone -

As most of you know, I'm heading off to the Middle East to play for the troops with hit songwriters Thom Shepherd and Bob Reagan along with some great musicians - on fiddle, Cort Wegman, on bass, Philip Pence and drums, John Root. I'll be doing the sound and coming up to do a couple/three songs as the set progresses.

Our itinerary has us in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Djibouti (on the African coast), Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. We also will be spending two nights on an aircraft carrier somewhere in the Persian Gulf. We're leaving Nashville January 10 and arriving back sometime January 31.

Since we'll be 9 hrs ahead, I thought it would be fun to create this blog and post our adventures along with pictures of the trip as we go.

Feel free to comment on the posts and send them to your friends as well.

Thanks for dropping in and hope you come back often.

Jerry
