New Years News!!!!

Heya Friends. . .two quick bits of news as I wish you all a happy new year!!!!

First of all, I have FINALLY finished my newest album, "The Open Road". The theme of these ten songs are all related to the challenges and issues of transitioning from young adulthood into middle age. I am very proud of it and hope that it has something to offer you. You can hear it by going to my personal website at www.thomasjwilson.com. As always, feedback and constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Special thanks to J R Mounts for his phenomenal guitar work on this one.

Secondly, for those of you who don't already know. . .Kimberly has accepted a position with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. We believe that we have found a house just across the border into Vermont. We will be leaving Georgia at the end of January. I will forward specific contact info to you all as time comes closer.

Thanks to one and all. . .much thanks for the love and support that you continue to give me.

The Open Road

That Phrase has a couple of meanings, doesn't it?

The most obvious meaning is that it is the title of the new album, which is now "completed". I put quotation marks around that, quite frankly, because I am not happy with it. I think that the tracking was all great, but there is something in the mix that I am just not happy with. I have not been able to put my finger on it, but I am not completely satisfied. I don't think that I have surpassed my last album production wise, and want to spend some more time on it. . . .time which I am not going to have for a couple of months.

So, I am not releasing it. . . .yet.

Thanks so much to those of you who have sent me supportive comments, and your ongoing patience. I want to make sure, that before I share this current work with anyone, that I am happy with what I have created. I expect that I should be able to focus on fixing the parts that I am dissatisfied with, and releasing something that I feel good about, sometime in early to mid spring 2008. As I said, there is just too much going on with life and the family. . .

Which brings me to the OTHER meaning of "The Open Road". . .

Kimberly has accepted a position with the Pediatric ICU with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. We will be out on "The Open Road" on a new adventure to move our home and family to New England. We are all very excited, though somewhat anxious regarding the move--Moving is never fun.

We expect to be gone from Austell at the very end of January, and settled into our new Home in the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire by the Middle of February.

Thanks to all friends and family for your ongoing love and support. I appreciate each and every one!
