I'm just a few days away from releasing my 9th record.
It's hard for me to believe it. Cause I still don't know what I'm doing.
I remember it was back around 1998 when I first got into Jerry Jeff Walker. This was before I ever dreamed of playing a guitar much less writing a song. Yes these were cd days for me, just barley. I still had a case or two full of cassettes. I was transitioning to compact discs. And those jokers were like 19 bucks a piece. And when I stumbled upon the JJW section at a music store in Gruene Texas on this particular day, I counted 17 JJW cd's. Then I got sad. Because I wanted all of them. And I didnt have the funds.
I used to spend almost every dollar I had to my name on music.
And it didn't bother me a lick.
It bothered me to run out of money and not be able to buy another cd. That's what bothered me.
And then when I did get a couple of records of my own under my belt. I would say, "one day some kid as hungry as I was, will walk in a music store somewhere. And say Damn he's got 17 records out." I can't afford them all.
Hey, that might be why I give a lot of cd's away. It just dawned on me.
Friday is the day.
"Steady" number nine drops.
