they’re with the band

From the department of “good girls go to heaven and bad girls go to Italy”…

hot band wives

Just had to share this photo, sent by one of my best friends, of the “band wives” on the night of the first of two shows that my band “the Americani” played earlier this month in the village of Cison di Valmarino in the province of Treviso (Veneto).

That’s Tracie P, second from right.

Now do you see why guys like me learn how to play guitar? ;)

My home office is also my recording studio. And when my bandmates are in town and we’re working, writing, and recording, Georgia P LOVES to come visit with us in the studio…

One of the greatest joys of my life is sharing music with our daughter and living in a home filled with melody and rhythm…

It’s been a week filled with terrible news.

Boston, the explosion in Texas, and children going hungry in Greece.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all of our sisters and brothers in pain and in grief.

May G-d bless them.

Someday, Georgia P will learn about how hard life can be, how cruel the world.

But this spring morning in central Texas, she’s just a little girl with a pearl earring.

Buona domenica, yall…

Tracie P, Georgia P, and I had a blast over the last two weeks in Italy.

But we sure are glad to be at home in Texas with all its comforts (and high speed internet).

Thanks for following along and buon weekend, yall! Lots more fun posts on what we ate and drank (and my notes from the wine fairs) to come…
