So today has been a big day! Our few days off in Nashville, then a show last night, were amazing!
This morning we woke up at the crack of noon and moaned and groaned about the poor choice of hitting Steak n Shake at 4 am. Once we were all up and going (without showers due to the hazardous conditions of the bathroom), we went to a trailer store.
The owner of the venue just happened to be the owner of a very nice trailer store and gave us an UNBELIEVABLE deal on a sweet new 7x16' dual axle trailer. We traded in "Clifford" the giant red trailer and have named the new one "Murphy." So we loaded all our stuff in and got on the road to drive over 600 miles to Iowa City!
On our way out of Nashville, we stopped in a Guitar Center where Jeremy found a 1969 Fender P-Bass. After a lot of haggling, he walked out with it. It's the sweetest bass I've ever heard! Be looking for it when you see us at shows. Ask him about it -- he'll be more than happy to tell you all about it!
Now we're just on the road. It's beautiful driving through KY and TN as the sun is going down. We're chasing it at 70 mph, so it's like the neverending sunset. There's no buildings. Nothing. Just road, trees, and mountains. There's something about this kind of drive that makes me feel closer to God.
One more day and the full-on tour starts!
