Dreams

I have a new life dream. My new life dream is to be six inches taller, grow a crazy beard, wear a lot of brown clothes and to learn how to play the guitar (way better), piano and the fiddle. My dream is to be a folk singer. Currently, Scott Avett has my job and I want it from him. I want to sing songs from great artists in the past like Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson among others. I'm completely serious. I've always wanted to be a musician entertainer and now I know that this is the kind of music that I would perform. There's so much energy and emotion in folk music; I think that says a lot about my life currently and in the past. It's all about feelings and experiences, it's the next best thing from the blues. I just want to show the world what's going on inside the head of a kid raised on the Bayou here in Southeast Texas who's also got some hill country in 'em. I want to put this city on the map. One of my dreams has been to become a famous folk musician and to put on a show for the hometown fans. I don't think there is a more rewarding feeling than doing this and I try to think about the Avett Brothers performing in North Carolina.

My favorite Avett song today:
