Drive-By Truckers and Visiting Chicago

The days are quickly moving toward our big move to South Dakota.  But in the meantime, we have been taking opportunities to visit friends and see some great music!  The Drive-By Truckers came to DeKalb last week and put on an amazing show.  It was great to see a rockin’ show before we left.

We also took the opportunity to visit our friend Tony in Chicago where we checked out the parks, went to some art galleries, had a drink at the House of Blues, and did some shopping.  It’s starting to become time to buckle down and get everything packed, but it’s not nearly as much fun.  I think I’d rather just work on projects and keep visiting friends, but the big moving day is near!

Tony’s album nearing completion, and a new track

Tony Memmel’s new album, “Here we Go”, is in the final stages and we are really excited about how it is turning out!  As that winds down, I had the chance to work on a new track that I am calling, “Lonely Heart”.

Check it out on BandCamp.  This is a really cool website that I found out about from John Statz.  It’s a great way for musicians to get their music out to people in full quality and get compensated directly.


We are keeping very busy with house buying logistics and packing, so I’ll be in touch throughout the month to let you know how things are coming along.  On July 30th we’ll be in our brand new house!
