Back in Chicago for a couple Highway Robbers shows, hanging at Shane and Heidi's beautiful place right on the lake. Pouring rain, and I'm working out a new song I wrote on the plane on Shane's 12-string Guild.
It's a love song, and a silly & funny one at that. Didn't some Beatle or another say once that we need more of those around? It's one of those big unwieldy songs that wrote itself really, and so I like it a lot already. Just doing my portion, as they say in the movies. Being the song conduit, as they don't say in the movies. She doesn't know this yet, but the mighty Clementine will be playing drums on it when it comes time to record this beast. And I'll need LOTS of singers, so all you singers stay tuned for an invitation.
A toast to all from the Windy City.
