I had a great time this past weekend going to see my old friend Dean Dillon and his wife Susie. We made some plans to put some shows together sometime soon and I am certainly looking forward to doing that. It was also nice to meet Phil O'Donnell in Grant, Fl. It was another great show at the Opry Thursday and I had a big time playing for the Founders reception at Eaton's Beach on Friday to kick off their official Grand Opening weekend. I was also the first act to ever play there when they opened just over four months ago. My how time flies when you are having fun. I wound up a great weekend playing in the really cool little town of Astor on the St. John's River Saturday night. I played on the deck at a new place that just opened a week ago called The Roost. Really nice folks that run the place and great food. I hope to go back when the weather gets warmer. I also look forward to playing some other places there real soon. I really like the atmosphere of the area. It has a good old Florida feel. I will be doing the Thursday night Opry show again this coming Thursday after I do a video interview on Wednesday for a new documentary being filmed about Gary Stewart. Then I have a rare weekend off to enjoy. I think the weather will be nice and I hope to take advantage it. Not sure what I'll do or where I will go, but it is so nice to be able to be here in Paradise with so many choices close by. I should stay right here at home and do some much needed maintenance on my house, but I think I just may go visit some old friends down in Ft. Pierce or maybe just enjoy some of the local beauty right here among all of these beautiful springs. I have all week to make up my mind....... What I should do...or what I want to do?? .... well, the choice is all mine... I like that... :)
UPDATE: Well, I may not have the weekend off after all.. Looks like I will be heading back up to Astor for the weekend to play at The Castaways right on the St. John's River. I will be posting the times and days Tuesday. I may be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a big bike rally. Might have to get a little fishing in while I'm there...
