So Paris was insane! So we were only they’re for 48 hours, but I think we saw just about everything you could possibly cram in. Ken our producer is Mr. World Traveler, and what I like to call a complete “animal”! We no more than stepped off the metro, and we were off and running. Seriously running up steps! I do have to say thank you to Ken for treating me to such an amazing trip. I think he has made it his mission in life to inject me with culture. LOL! All jokes aside, I welcome it all. Getting “outside my comfort zone” has kinda been a theme for this album, and this place in life. I feel I will return a new me in so many ways. Have no fear…I’ve gotten a few e-mails about not losing my “small town”. No way kids. If being away and seeing all these amazing things has done anything, it has made me really appreciate home. No place I’d rather be, and you can believe that. I actually get to go home for a couple of weeks. I will get home on Friday Oct 6th, and you can bet you will find me at the Urbana High School football game breathing in as much small town as possible. If you are going to be there, make sure you say hello. I’ll be easy to spot. I’ll be the twenty-something with his arms wrapped around his favorite girl with the biggest smile you will ever see.
So what else…Album updates. Looks like David Campbell will be doing strings the first week of Nov. and the album should be pretty much done at that point. Of course you guys won’t see it hit stores for a few months after that…good things come to those who wait, right? Other than that, I can’t really say anything that hasn’t been said. This is the best STS to date. Big things are sure to come, and we want each and every one of you along for the ride! Please keep in touch with us while we finish putting this together. Come the New Year we will probably be hitting a town near you!
