Cool things, Gigs, and being sick (yuck)

First of all - I apologize for any fellow musicians/worship leaders that are offended by me using the term (gig). Anyways, I have been (booked) - if you will- to play close to 20 dates between now and Mid-December and hopefully will get a lot more than that. So that is a plus - BUT I'M SICK!!!!

On another note - I am doing this "cleanse" where I can only eat fruits, Veggies, water, green tea, fish, rice milk, some bread and cereal and it's all ORGANIC and very very EXPENSIVE. The cleanse are just these pills you take in the morning and at night - the detoxifying has made me feel like crap for the last two days but I am starting to feel better today. But I'm still sick - I hate being sick.

This is a side story - I was driving with Matt brouwer to play retreat for our church (sixth graders!! yea!!) this last weekend and a cover on his new album unlearning that was originally written by Sheryl Crow called "I shall believe" played for the first time on KSBJ in houston which is supposed to be the largest Christian radio network in the U.S. It was a cool moment - he also made number 1 for the station's Tuesday night takeover which was pretty cool. I thought to myself "hey I play with this guy sometimes.... cool".

Anyways I don't think I have left anything off.

Oh wait - we got a 62" inch hitachi big screen for free two days ago _ HOW SWEET IS THAT - I'll put up a picture!!!

Sarah Mclachlan Is amazing

I don't know why I never got into her. I just bought "mirror ball" off of itunes and matt (brouwer) let me borrow his dvd of mirror ball - her husband/drummer is amazing - he is my new inspiration for practice, style, and groove. I am gettting to play a lot more music now. It has been a good few weeks. This weekend I am playing today and tomorrow with Matt Brouwer and then leading worship on Sunday with him. I am also sitting in for a band called "spoken for" - I am also getting some gigs with this guy named Justin Johnston - he is really talented. And then I am also getting to play with another worship leader I met named John Cordes from Katy. I am still hoping to get to play with Lauren James she has some great material and a lot of potential to do something amazing so I am hoping that I might get an audition. I talked to her guitar player the other day (david howard) and he had said that she had metioned something so we'll see.......

I am playing a lot more now - but it's amazing to me - i don't seem to have much money. Go figure.

I hope everyone is well.
