Howdy, everybody… if you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from me in a while, I’ve been on the Outlaw Country Cruise! I could have posted along the way, but I prefer to experience the fun in the moment and let my thoughts percolate a bit. Before I share any of the awesome times/pics from the cruise, I wanted my first post to be in honor of an extraordinary person who passed away while we were docked in Puerto Rico… Mojo Nixon. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. Mojo was kind, obnoxious, incredibly smart and always ready to share a laugh with his fans. I remembered his wild shows and hilarious songs from my college days, but I really didn’t appreciate his genius until I became a faithful listener of his show on Sirius XM. I was lucky to meet him in Nashville at Americana Fest (see pic) and REALLY fortunate to witness his last show (other pic). Everybody on the ship agreed it was the best he ever played/sounded. He had all of us jumping, dancing and singing along. It was amazing! We’ll miss you Mojo. There will never be another one like you… rest in peace.
