2 Things That Overjoy Me

1. Going into a large record store, as I did last week, and, with euphorically ecstatic shock, discovering my debut CD for sale on one of the racks, right next to Etta James, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Susan Tedeschi, Shemekia Copeland, BB King, and other huge names I respect immensely . A few years ago I would ambitiously and insistently declare to others that someday they were going to see my CD right there in that store, alongside those exact names.
One simple, life-long,innocent dream has materialized splendidly.

2. Booking my first Blues festival in Europe (Finland to be exact)

What can I say? I am surprisingly easy to please.

If you want something bad enough, you will find a way to achieve it.

Alright, back to reveling in the grandiose and awe-inspiring beauty of Italia!

Tomorrow I'll be in Italy.
I'll most likely be eating too much food, food that my relatives will, according to tradition, force feed me.

Life is wonderful
