i am laying in my bunk right now thinking about the fact that i will only be sleeping in here for three more nights. crazy! i have definitely grown accustomed to sleeping on the bus versus sleeping in a normal bed. actually, i have been sleeping on an air mattress overtime i am back in nashville. why? because i have a bed in storage in dallas that officially gets moved to nashville after thanksgiving! the follow you tour officially comes to a close in a few days with our last hurrah being in birmingham, alabama. although a big chunk of me is sad to part ways with all of the amazing friends i’ve made from leeland and the crew, i am excited to have a break from the road. when all is said and done, we will have knocked out 43 dates in 60 days. hmmm.. lets get more technical about it, this means we will have played 129 solid hours of show all together on stage. thats ridiculous! if someone would have thrown that number at me before the tour started i might have skipped off to mexico to hide. good thing that didn’t happen though because each show has been amazing. thank you to all who came out to the shows!
on another note, i sold a few of my cds tonight to a few lovely ladies who were interested in my music. thanks for supporting indie music! thanks to all who have purchased my new record. to those of you who haven’t, please feel free to download it on iTunes or purchase it on CDBABY.com. if you are also extra motivated… spread the word to your friends and tell them how awesome the record is! thanks again! i need to sleep now. two more shows until we go home!
joe.

i am happy to say my record is finally on 
tonight we played a show in springfield, mo. to commemorate halloween we all dressed up as the memorable characters from the goonies movie. the picture says it all. mike has not shaved his beared off in over 5 years but did so he could play “chunk” to his fullest… he didn’t even shave his beared off for his own wedding! i think he looked the closest to his character. hai was “data” which was absolutely legendary. i was mama fratelli… i had to wear a dress on stage. that was really really really tough becuase when i sat down at the keyboard… well, lets’ just say i had to wear basketball shorts under my outfit. this weeks run of shows has been amazing! i am putting together a brandon heath tour video that will be up shortly!
