Tying Up Loose Ends in Tennessee

Time is getting short here in Tennessee. This week I've given notice to my present job and accepted an offer for work in the Baltimore/DC area. I didn't think leaving Tennessee would be so hard, but it's proving to be more difficult than I thought. My biggest concern is my boys. We've worked enough into our budget so that they can hopefully travel to see us frequently. I think I'm closer to them now than ever before. Keeping that relationship is the most important thing to me.

I'll also miss the frequent gigs with Mountain Soul. The boys plan to continue the current schedule and I know they'll be amazing. I hope to join them some on weekends, maybe an occasional Thursday, and perhaps book some gigs around our new home. Watch the Mountain Soul web site for updates!

The movers packed up all our belongings today and will unload in Maryland Saturday afternoon. It was really nice of Cornell University to pick up our moving expenses. The movers were great, seemed very careful and conscientious, and got the job done when they said they would. I still have one more week of work here in Tennessee. Then, the adventure begins!! Stay tuned! -Shawn
