New CD is done….

A little bright light of the day. Our new band CD is done… It’s called Midnight Storm… It sounds purdy durn good, but well, I’m biased.

It has three originals on it, that Jeff and I wrote. Yep, we’re the regular Simon and Garfunkel of the local bluegrass scene. We’re still approachable though, so don’t worry. We’re very humble. (haha)

It’s got 3 others that are pretty good too… of course, written by the best of the best of our bluegrass genre. Midnight storm, Love of an Angel and Freeborn Man.

And the last one, Woods of Yesterday, is written by my buddy Rob, he’s not only a band mate, he’s my right hand man in the business! (Jessy is my right hand gal…. or is she my left hand man… Hmmm….)  I’m sure you’ll love that one.. it’s about kids rambling in the woods and being grown up and missing that…  gooood stuff.

Well, anyway… it’s done. I have them available if anyone is interested. For my ever faithful wonderful awesome blog peeps, I’ll send ya one for free shipping if you want to donate $10 to the band. We do paypal and ah, cash too. We barter, and haggle too, so hey, whatever goes! Haha.

Here’s the title cut… Midnight Storm, with yours truly leading the way!

This is a song that Jeff and I wrote, called Baby Girl. I really like this one.. Jeff’s Dad Wilson is singing lead on it.

Remember. We only need to sell 1,890 of them to help us buy the farm.

Oh wait. I only get 1/5th of the proceeds. Durn. Okay, we only need to sell like 9,450 of them. That’s doable, right? Right? (haha)

I’m kidding. 7,000 would be probably enough.

Well…..

We filled out all the papers and waited and watched as he put all the figures in and all that.

And then signed a bunch of stuff.

And then he says, well, we’ll know in a few days but it doesn’t look good.

Whoa… what?

He says, credit is good, everything about income and all looks good but you don’t have enough higher limit open credit history, so the system is saying it’s not a good thing and will likely be denied. It does go to an actual underwriter, but he doesn’t think it will happen.

Kind of a 360 from the day before. Very dissapointing at this moment in time. Spend years working to recover from things out of your control, be good, pay off things, get things in order and now they say, oh, you haven’t been getting yourself back into debt enough, with more credit cards and such, so we don’t think a HOME is a good idea. Why don’t you go get a new car or something and come back in 12 months.

This world is whacky. And dissapointing.

Well, Jessy says on the way home… “Mom, God doesn’t want us in debt, He doesn’t want us with monthly payments, something will happen, this is just the first battle and until it’s sold, we still have a chance.”

Have I ever said how much I luvs my kids? That’s why.

Well, back to the drawing board. And well, maybe the underwriter will think otherwise than the computer program. Guess we’ll find out in a few days. In the meanwhile, just disappointing. Very disappointing.

We’re off to the bank…

We’ve got sixteen hundred tons of paperwork and we’re ready to go. Maggie is shoveling and cleaning off ol’ Blue for us, and Jessy and I are powdering our noses and getting ready to go. We got about 6 inches of snow last night, and everything is beautiful and white.

A friend sent me a little email of encouragement. And I love it… He said…

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Something good will happen to you today, something that you have been waiting to hear.

Oh, I hope it’s true… see you all in a while!
