Being in Nashville, writing, singing, working, etc tends to leave very little time to spend in the outdoors. It's a shame that I let so much time go by without spending some of it in the woods. Lucky for me, my good friend/outdoor legend/beast, Joella Bates took me out Turkey Hunting last week.
What started out as a stressful week, ended up being a much needed retreat from the city. The peace and quiet of the country was just what the Dr. ordered. We hunted on and off for almost a whole week, saw plenty of turkeys, but never did get a shot for me. However, on the one day that I did have to go in to work, Ms Joella and my boy Nathan Moran shot a double! I was pumped at their success.. just a little jealous haha ;) but super stoked nonetheless! I guess some of the highlights were being out in the woods, I was so relaxed I took a nap on a tree, saw a bunch of hens and a few young gobblers, captured what I think might be the best timelapse of all time(in my video catalogue atleast), had good company, and met a bunch more people in Ms Joella's hometown!
Then this week was equally awesome with some of my family coming to town! Got a lot done while they were here, and we did a killer show for the Bud Light Battle of the Bands at Blue Bar in MidTown. I wish the rest of my family could have been here for it, but there will be many more, and I'm sure in due time, I'll be making it all over the place to be able to play for ALL my friends and family.
It's been a good couple of weeks and lots more to come with CMA Fest right around the corner, and lining more shows up for the summer.
