 I was in math class. Senior year of high school. My friend Eric runs back from the office and he announces to the class that an airplane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. My first thought was that is was a small airplane, and pilot error. Our teacher ran over to the one dial-up PC that was over by his desk and he said that the news website was down.
We turned on the one television that was attached to the front wall right when the second plane hit the south tower. School was much quiter that day. Most of the classes were sacrificed so that we could all watch the breaking news unfolding. We had no idea that the world we all knew was never going to be the same again. I remember the night before, 9/10/01, I went to a Three Doors Down concert with a bunch of friends from school. It was so normal, and yet, everything from 9/11 onward was about to change.  "We need to have more cameras in more kids hands" - Brian Bowen (Southern Edge Studios) Those were the words my friend Brian said to me when he gave his camera to his ten-year-old daughter Willow. I'd never had a kid shoot one of my shows before, but, I've been in this game long enough to know that outside-the-box thinking is where the magic usually is. Brian and his family are world travelers as well. Willow did a fanstastic job capturing this show. I am so excited to see her continue to grow and develop. Wanishi (thank you) Willow and Southern Edge Studios for capturing this magical night.    Huge thanks to my man CJ at Sugarshack for spinning my new song "Let It Go, Let It Be." Y'all are the real MVP's.
I’m back in Guatemala. While I was gone, Rayah learned how to ride a bike without training wheels (major FOMO). She’s blossoming at school, making new friends, learning Espanol, and growing so quickly. This is her 15th country, and we’re so proud of her.  There’s no syllabus for parenting, so we’re giving her the best education we know - world travel.
Yesterday we hiked a volcano (well… one of us rode a horse). It was one of those experiences that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Thanks for all the love. Happy Labor Day weekend.
 I always wanted a band, but most of my career was spent living in a bus, on tour, with my wife. So, there just wasn’t space. Most of my career was spent moving, like, 1000-1500 miles/week, 39 countries, 50 states, so there just wasn’t time.  And, I’ve spent my whole career making a full time living off my songs, that I wrote, and trying to support a family doing it. Choosing a path like that means the resources just weren’t there to put (and keep) a band together. So, I committed to going solo. And, I’m proud of that.
It’s hard to describe what it feels like being carried by a group of artists who I trust, admire and respect so much - so I just want to extend my deepest of gratitude. And thank you again to everyone who came out on Sunday night. Make sure you give all these guys a follow: Gilberto '77, Chambers Waller, Johnston Brothers, and Tigre Island Room. Video coming soon… : Michael R Ritter   What a great first show! Thank you so much to everyone who came out. One thing I love about coming back to USA (after an extended overseas trip) is I come back hungrier than normal. Music is medicine for me. It's cathartic. Healing. All those things. I'm really excited for the upcoming bacd show! See you soon!  |
