Here’s the skinny. I know these boys. They are amazing at what they do, and not only do they make good music together, they represent what being a good artist is all about. Humanity. Check out the website,  go see a show!

Beginning in late 1999 and beginning of 2000 , Eric Hartness , Stephen Sharpe , Brian Gaither , Dale Beatty , and Tommy Beaver got together and started writing and recording songs for “Southern Fried” to start performing.The band played extensively for two years until the drummer Dale Beatty was called to serve the country.At this time the band went back to writing music for his return. Coming home was bittersweet after nearly losing his life when an Iraqi roadside landmine exploded , and nearly disintegrated the Humvee he was in. After a double amputation, several surgeries , and extensive rehabilitation, his triumphant return spawned new life for the band and gave new inspiration to all of his family.Since then SFMA has been playing every opportunity growing its fan base and writing new music constantly. They later added guitarist and former band mate Russell Dye to the sound and adopted the suffix “Musicians Association”, and have been busy playing Rock and Roll , Country Blues, Rockabilly and their own brand of “Hillbilly Voo~Doo Music” for audiences everywhere. We hope to see you soon…

I took this photo in Costa Rica for Rob and Jennifer’s wedding back in 2007…(this was their rehearsal dinner, and probably one of my favorite photos) My husband and I went and had a mini vacation with our friends Ivy & Scott. Costa Rica had the best Mojito’s (You know we had to sample them everywhere we went ;)  plus it was the most beautiful country…I want to go back. xox

Heather is due mid July with her first babe. We did her maternity photos last week, and I’m so excited to snuggle this little loves. Not only is Heather my cousin, but also one of my dearest friends. I am thrilled to be an “aunt” to little Emma Jane. xoxo

So many times we get caught up in our tweets, beeps and online world, that we forget to stop and breathe. I am so guilty of this, my world is non-stop, all day, everyday.  I am making a vow to chill out for a hot minute of each day, because before I blink, my babe will be all grown up. Tweet or no tweet.  xox
