I just can't resist posting this photo with the news that Red-X is hanging up the gloves for awhile.....at least until October, maybe for good......God's will be done in it all. A special heartfelt thanks to George Miller for all of his time & effort as our lead guitar & graphics man, he did an awesome job & his passion was second to none! "Infectious" is a word I've heard used to describe him, and it fits to a T. God Bless the Millers (George, Melissa, & Alexa) as they make the huge move to Orlando, Florida. James Roberts, Dave Leishman, & myself are taking a well-deserved break after our funky trip to LA & the unfortunate cancellation of our July 14th Farmer's Market gig in Sparks....something about a 6x10 stage, public service announcements between every song, and making sure we'd play really quiet......they obviously have never met George & his Randall half-stack:) I know James is happy to take a break, and our prayers go out for him and his family, as well as for Dave, Sue, & Kate. As for me, well, I've got a 1970 house to finish painting, a yard to mow, a worship department to run, Kids Camp, and most of all, a one-time-rock-boy-band to put together so we can "rock Frankfurt" Germany in August. We'll be doing songs by some of my favorites, including Lifehouse, Delirious, Third Day, and of course, Red-X. After four years of rockin' with the boys of Red-X, including Peter Johnson as the original drummer, I've learned one thing: It's a long road to the top when you wanna rock'n'roll. Or something like that. I think Third Day summed it up best in their song "Rockstar:" I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain�t got what it takes
The drive and the determination
And the lucky breaks
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain�t got the face
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain�t got what it takes Sincerely, Earl W. Nash

...the best part of going to LAwatchin' the Dodgers work the D'backs and seeing Jordan experience his first pro baseball game....priceless

gettin' crazy backstage while waitin' for our four minutes of fame.....which was not meant to be :( Not a single band was picked to move on to Nashville, though I heard some great music, and felt that we did exatly what we prepared to do, and did it well in spite of the sound mix....

gettin' ready for the big show :)
