downtown historic Newberry, SC. I'm sitting on a park bench under the
large green canopy of leaves feeling the wind blowing through my hair.
I am working up here at the Newberry Operahouse doing a sound gig.
Today I am working with an artist that is also legend of country music
Mr. Marty Stewart. So far the day has gone smoothly. No complaints on
my end, no surprise because everyone here today has been very
professional. Call time was at 1pm. We were finished with load and
sound check by 3pm. Then I had a great time watching tonight's act
rehearse for about an hour before we took our break. Now I am sitting
here waiting for the house to open and the show to start. It looks
like we may get some rain. It seems as if the wind I was enjoying
earlier had some rain clouds riding on its coat tails. We always are
in need of rain, generally speaking, i am sure right now is no
different. Time to move this one man blog party indoors.
Ok now that I am sitting down in a plush red "faux-velvety" type
theatre chair, I can get back to this here blog.
This morning was pretty neat. I took my son to my grandparents house
so that they could watch him while a was at work. When I got there my
aunt's little daughter was there, it was neat to see my son interact
with her and play "blocks" or laugh together at the TV or dance when
music is being played. I will probably say this alot during the course
of my blog journey, and i know it is cliche as hell, but they grow up
so fast.
Another thing that happened today was after about five years, I pulled
up to my grandparents and there in their garage was my chest of
drawers. It has been in New Mexico for the past five years. It is
awesome to have it back. In a way it was like seeing an old friend
come home. Or it was like having a piece of myself that somehow and
regrettably was left and since I have been walking around living my
life not completely whole, not completely myself and you don't even
realize that you have been living in this this way, since it was on
some unconscious level, until you see it. Then you think, "now I am
once again right as rain"
It is funny to think that I or anyone could feel that way about a
piece of furniture. For the longest time I felt detached from things
and now because of this piece of furniture I have to admit that I did
miss it and do miss things and people. Tonight I am sleeping away from
my wife and I know I will miss her.
It can be scary to admit that you somehow feel a change in your heart.
Especially when you think of talking about it with people you know,
because you aren't sure if they will still see you as the same person.
I want to assure myself and anyone who reads this that I am sure I am
the same person, I just feel better and more connected with myself
which only means I will be more connected and able connect with others
around me. I hope this new feeling I have serves me in bettering those
relationships with my family, loved ones, and friends. Make me a
better husband and father too. This is my prayer at least.
Until Next Time, Peace and Blessings,
JAG
