We’re watching the parades and waiting for the dog show to start in a little while (Callie is a little obsessed with “dog dogs, woof woof”). We’ll be heading over to spend the day with my family and eat far too much food. I hope y’all have a great and restful day… there’s much for us all to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

*Update*
It seems that my email is working again but anything sent in the last day or so is gone. So if you did email me recently, please email me back again. Thanks!

Hey all, apparently my email has been down for the last day or so and I’m trying to get it taken care of. If you’ve emailed me anything since Tuesday and it can’t wait another day, please email joebassettmusic@gmail.com

Thanks!

My little girl is taking a nap and I’m enjoying a good cup of coffee while trying to get a few things done around the house. The weather outside is perfect. The kind of cool and crisp fall day that makes you want to sit out on the deck and take it all in. For me it’s like the whole year has been leading up to this season… just when you can’t take the hot and humid days anymore, a change comes. My life has felt like that lately too. When I get a bit too overwhelmed by the weight of the world, the seasons finally change. The leaves turn and it gets just a little bit easier to breathe again. It never lasts long but usually it lasts just long enough. So as I sit here, watching the trees sway in the cool breeze while the leaves cling on for a little while longer, I’m reminded once again. The seasons always change… eventually.

The show in Souderton last Sunday was a lot of fun and we were very thankful for such a great crowd. I got to play a few songs off my new record (a bit more info below) and as usual, had a blast with Derek. Thanks to the church for having us out and thanks a bunch to Derek for once again asking me to open for him.

Set list:
1. Nothing hurts like the truth
2. Careless
3. This great divide
4. Love still remains

You can find a review of the show here.

On the way home, we got a bit lost (thanks for nothing Mapquest!) and then got stuck in traffic for an hour or more due to road construction. I have no idea why I don’t own a GPS unit but come this birthday, one shall be mine! If you know of a good one that isn’t overly pricey, drop me a line and let me know.

In other news, I just got the rough mixes for the new EP and I think it sounds great. I’m hoping to get it all locked in and finished for a September/October release. I just need to get everything set up on this end for the free download… I’ll keep you updated on that. I’ll also put a song or two up on Myspace/Facebook/Socialnetworkingsiteofthemoment when they’re finished.

Till next time,
Joe

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I’ll be opening for Derek Webb on Sunday (8/17) in Souderton, PA. It should be a fun show and it would be great to see all you PA folks out there!

You can find all the details right here.

Later!
