Near Des Moines heading to NYC. The guys all flew home after the Lyons gig. So I’m on this drive solo. The Lyons gig by the way was killer. Hands down the best festival I’ve ever been a part of. The lineup was great. The venue was beautiful. The crowd was attentive as hell. I’m hoping we can do that again next year. I spent the week with the family in the mountains which was exactly what I needed. Today has been a bit weird as it’s the one year anniversary of my accident. I don’t know that this time last year anyone would have believed we would be back to where we are right now, but here we are. I can’t say enough how lucky I am to have been surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. My bandmates, managers, agents all have helped above and beyond the call of duty. So many of you guys wrote emails or letters. Sent flowers, gifts and cards. Came to the hospital. I can’t tell you how much it has meant to me and my family. I can only say thank you. On a brighter more celebratory note I’m SOOOO excited to say that ‘The Wreckage’ will be available on vinyl at live shows starting Wednesday in Louisville. With the vinyl you will also get a download card so you can access a digital copy as well. This has truly made the album seem finished. Now we can actually get it out there and share it. I’m thrilled about that. There will be a lot more in the coming weeks but for now I’m hitting the sack and gonna try to be in New York by Saturday night. Think there’ll be anything going on there this weekend?

Will, just a note to say hi. I saw you several years ago at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. My daughter lives in Manhattan and saw your show last week. She said she even had dinner with you and your gang on the bus. She called me later that night to tell me how great the show was. My birthday is in October and I might fly up for your show October 1. When will tyou be back in Florida? Chuck

why are you in NYC this weekend?!?
you can’t have a show and not let us new yorkers know about it. i need answers will!
and if you don’t have a show, i highly suggest an acoustic performance in central park for your NYC fans.

So glad it’s a happy anniversary for all, and you are alive and well! I’ve been eagerly waiting to see you again since last Aug., although not so patiently at times. Maestro’s been putting in a new sound system – just in time for your return. He has a little more time now. Please know that we all wish you the BEST of LUCK in New York!! You deserve it !
Drive carefully!
