Walked early and i’m really drowsy. Although the weather is beautiful these days. Perfect for walking. Went to Jason White’s house for a co-write with Jason and Bill Demain. We were working on a country song called “Five Million Star Hotel” and I could only give it about 2 hours and then I was fried. That’s about my limit with country songs. All songs actually, at one sitting. Made lunch for those guys, and told them about my master plan to produce some tracks for George Jones. I made some salads and then it was time for a nap. When I woke up I made some calls for the jam session. “I’m gonna really try to make it.” said Lex, “I’ve got some other plans, but I’m really going to try.” Then Lindsey Jamieson called, and said he felt like he was coming down with something so I called it off. Sometimes it can be hard to get musicians in Nashville to just get together and jam, it’s like (laughs) asking a postman to go for a walk! I won’t be deterred on this idea. It will happen eventually, I just have to be tenacious. I have accomplished harder things with greater ease. Made Chilli and The Cantrells, Al and Emily came over and we jammed a bit and I was playing lap steel and it was fun, but I can only concentrate for an hour or so, then I get, well…the A.D.D. starts flaring up. Home and did a little work on the computer, then hit the hay.
