Homesick For You...

It's a weird phenomenon to spend all day missing people.  I never missed people before.  When I was twenty-two years old I never missed a single soul...now I step from my home for hours at a time and I start to miss the girls.  Sometimes I think that this new fatherhood thing isn't something that you just become...it's something that you are just flat out constantly becoming.

The Avett Brothers new record, "The Carpenter" is a beaut, and when I first heard "A Father's First Spring," I felt a strange familiarity, and then immediately on the heels of that I thought of my friend Dustin.  This Spring will be his first one as a father.  I hope you're itching with the kind of anticipation that writes songs.  There aren't many other things that do the experience justice.
