Today I’ll be driving across the beautiful state of Tennessee and then down in to South Carolina for my great grandma’s funeral.  Last night I got the most restful night of sleep I’ve had in at least a month, thanks to some very kind and generous friends here in Nashville.

If you missed the Square Peg Alliance show last night, you missed much fun.  There were new tunes played, and they were good.  Specifically, Andrew Peterson sang a song he wrote as a sequel to Andy Osenga’s “Kara.”  It was a rough version since he had just finished it, but the continuation of the story had me leaning forward in anticipation wondering what would happen with those two fictional characters.

Billy Cerveny sang a tear-jerking rewrite of Peterson’s “Family Man” during the round of cover songs.  “I am a can of spam” was the first line.  I wish somebody was recording that, because it was just great.

I bought 2 of Billy’s CDs for the trip today.  I figured that if I’m driving through Tennessee, I should be listening to country music.  I’m new to his stuff, but what I’ve heard so far has been really good.  My brother-in-law told me about him and said that I would hate him because he would make me like country music.  So far that’s been an accurate statement.

It’s time for me to hit the road.  I’ll post again tonight if I can.
