A homecoming & gala
This weekend was pretty unusual for us in that we were social and went out both nights. The main focus of the weekend was the long-awaited return of our good friend Jason who has been in Afghanistan for the last year serving with the American troops. Jason entered the Center for Latin American Studies at…

Deadline
Last Sunday night I had the privilege and pleasure to get up on stage with some of the most jaw-dropping musicians in Nashville to sing some backup on a song called Redeemed. The song is on the soundtrack for the new movie Deadline that just premiered in Nashville on Wednesday and is in theaters now…

Now it’s just us…
Well, the house is now pretty empty. It’s back to just the 4 of us – Javi and me and the pupsters. Yesterday was the first day in a month that I came home to an empty house (with the exception of the doggos) – no Paula knitting on the couch, no Mery crocheting by…

Cowboys and Huasos
Yesterday Javi and I spent the day as tourists in our own city. We went to Room in the Inn for a couple hours to do a tour of the new building – Macarena is a social worker in Chile and was hoping to take some of the ideas from RITI back to Santiago. It’s…

Falta Poco!
We spent yet another great day with the Rodriguez family – we only have a few more left! We are all currently listening to Amalia Rodrigues (Fado…beautiful folk music from Portugal) and recovering from our evening at the Village Pub. I had another really fun show tonight at the VP and their front porch was…

Education Movement Music – I.C.Will
High quality education brightens the future of any child, but how do we keep kids focused on their education? Is this the responsibility of the kids, parents, teachers, government or everybody? It’s a pretty complex issue – as Leslie reminds me every time she comes home from her class on the sociology of education. Our…

Playing at Puckett’s! (v.2)
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to play at Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN for the second time! It’s my favorite venue I’ve played…probably ever…and we had a killer time that Saturday night. The first time we played there it was just unbearably hot but the second time it was much cooler…

The Boat Jammers on Broadway!
Morning folks! So last night Javi and I were down on Broadway listening to some music at the bar Margaritaville! I hadn’t ever been to Margaritaville – most of the time when I’m on Broadway I head to Roberts (the honky-tonk) and I’m a creature of habit so I haven’t branched out to many other…
