Projects

Shelby's started a new thing where once every month or so we're recording a couple of her songs and they'll be released as singles, and then by the end of the year she'll have an album. So yesterday they worked on Bleeding Hearts, The Christmas Song and Coward. And today I came in and did background vocals and glock and tambourine while Ian did trumpet parts. I love being in the Shelby Lamb Band.

Anyhow, I started to think about all of the people I know and all of the things we're doing, and I felt really overwhelmed by the beautiful things that my friends make. Through the course of my life, I've always felt that I'm lucky because I know some amazing people. I'm sure that people feel that way about their friends. But I'm so in love with so many of the people that I know, I can't hardly believe it. I remember a friend saying to me once at a party that if he was looking in at what was happening, he'd really want to be a part of it. There's something special about feeling admiration for people you get to hang out with, too.

Dear friends: I love you.
