My heart is heavy for Texas. And for my country. Seems like bullets fly more freely than conversation lately. So much to grieve.

So much gratitude to my Maker for so many things. This life of melody, family, and brotherhood is a journey I could never dream up. When my eyes are opened to the beauty, everything I see around me is gift. 11 albums?!? My friends, thank you for singing along.
