Will: Why shouldn’t I work for the N.S.A.? That’s a tough one, but I’ll take a shot. Say I’m working at the N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I’m real happy with myself, ’cause IContinue reading “21 Apr 2011 (2).”

In the sacred words of Sir Mick Jagger: ‘You can not always get what you want… but if you try sometime — you just might find, you get… well — you get some helicopter shots…’: I shot this footage from my friend Greg and Erin’s helicopter in late June.

Will get to see all of my music friends in the Nashville area. Yes, it’s early. Yes, it’s four-fourty AM Central Time. Yes, we’re working whilst you sleep. I have some ‘top of theContinue reading “IBFFNashville. 13 Aug 2010.”
