Got to hang with Erik Balkey a little bit on Friday. Great to see him and catch up. He came over and we caught lunch at Cindy’s, and then came back home and traded a few songs here. He’s playing in and around Dallas several times during this next week, so be sure and go catch him if you can…

Erik’s a hardworking, hard-travelling songwriter, whose become a good friend these last couple of years. I first met him on the internet, when we both had pages on the old “mp3.com.” I think I met him in the real world a couple of years ago, when he was a Wildflower and Kerrville finalist.
Since then, we catch up at Kerrville about once a year. So, it was nice to get the chance to see him inbetween those times. He’s writing a lot of great new songs that he shared with me.
