Anytime you roll into my home state of WV with a guitar… I’ll be in the audience. Hell, if you ever need a place to pass out while you’re in Morgantown, you’re more than welcome to invade my apartment for as long as you like.

War Eagle.

I must say to the War Eagle folks, I’ll give you 8 points and bet you a Franklin on the Iron Bowl. Taking all comers.

Have to say the age where you don’t have trivial arguments with your parents is a great thing, thought of that a lot since hitting 30, much time wasted.
November 5, 2009 at 5:35 am |
I saw you at the UT game! Solid list.
November 12, 2009 at 7:58 pm |
just finished reading ‘The Known World’ per your recommendation. excellent. thanks for that. see you soon.
November 13, 2009 at 12:22 am |
Why do you like the G7 capo? I have one and don’t see anything special about it with the possible exception that you can carry it in you pocket. there is a cantalevered one with adjustable pressure that looks pretty cool.

Hej Jason.
I’m a big fan of your work, both in DBT and with your “new” band. I would like to add the “Seven mile island”-album to the list of things that rock… “Cigarres and Wine” is along with Levon Helms “Growing Trade” my favorite song of the year. Makes me wish I was born in Texas.
