Sitting in the unseasonably sunny front porch glow

Sitting in the unseasonably sunny front porch glow. Let this be my mantra (a simple song sung low):
All the things you can’t control (let them go, let them go). All the horror in your soul (let it show, let it show). All the dreams you got laid up inside that hospital of hope. Let the trumpets sound and the babies in the manger (let them grow, let them grow, let them grow)… ❤️ #balloonsmanger

I met Matthew in Brooklyn when The Gloria Record first hooked up with The Arena Rock Recording Co. I was spending a fair amount of time there and getting to know Greg Glover (the truest of true) quite well. Greg and Aaron from Arena Rock were part of a softball league on a team representing Pete’s Candy Store and Matthew was also on the team. He gave me a cassette copy of early mixes of the “Let It Go” album and we wore it out in the van. The song “Blonde On Blonde” and really the whole record was such a revelation.

Later we would play a few shows with them before either of our new records were out. Brian Malone and I actually took it on ourselves to sequence the “Let It Go” record for them on a trip back to Austin from NYC driving the labels van back for one of the “Start Here” tours. This was a task they had not given us, nor did we share our conclusions, but I remember being somewhat disappointed in the bands sequencing after putting it into our own and enjoying it that way for so long. At any rate Matthew is a gem and such a down to earth incredible artist and I am happy for all of the success and continued inspiration they have had and given me. And it feels good to know he appreciates the music I continue to make.

On my way out the door to school. Thought I’d sit a spell and play. Soak in the sunlight. There’s a crisp autumn snap in the air after a very annoyingly hot November so far. Also, this is our foster dog. We think his name is either Bruce or Capo. A question we like to ask ourselves around here is, “Why not now?” ❤️ #timehascome

I’m so grateful for all who have listened to and bought the “Dream Homes” album. And to my friends and peers who have lent their words to the cause.

I first met Frank Turner on a solo tour in the EU when we played together at The Windmill Brixton in London in 2005. He spent a few days showing me around town and graciously invited me to his friends dinner parties when I was stranded there with a lost passport at the end of my tour. To know Frank is to love him and to know that he continues to love and support my work is very meaningful to me.

We hope you’ll check out the record and share your thoughts as well.

❤️
