  a journey.

• December 13, 2012Campfire 19: When I Grow Up I'll Be An Old Man

  This Chronicle is dedicated to my teammates. It is something to think of them

  and those times and to weave our shared experiences into a larger life’s

  tapestry all these years later.This Chronicle mentions games the University

  of Washington played against the University of Oregon and Washington State.

  As a point of clarification I want to make sure everyone knows these were

  games played between freshmen teams.

• November 19, 2012Campfire 18: Some Dreams

  As usual this chronicle took longer than I thought it would. It is also more

  satisfying than I could have imagined. A few days ago I realized that each

  of these Chronicles is like having a conversation with myself from an earlier

  time. During the first year I went to Nashville I was 28 years old. Also

  it has been an amazing way to remember things long forgotten or rediscover

  things I did not even remember losing.

• October 23, 2012Campfire 17: Songman

  It is an amazing adventure to journey around a life and a career, to find the

  contour of collected memories. It makes a difference that I am still writing

  songs, recording, performing and growing as a person in the midst of all

  this looking back.

• September 14, 2012Campfire 16: Bridge Over Troubled Water

  This has been a hard Chronicle to create. I realize more than ever how important

  songwriting is and has been to this journey of a lifetime, how much it has

  added and continues to add to my life and to each strand of my career. I

  am filled with gratitude for a chance to spend a lifetime learning the craft

  of songwriting.

• August 10, 2012Campfire 15: Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound

  Each of the seven stages is essential to the journey all are important chapters

  in the story. It took longer than I thought to find the heartbeat of this,

  the third stage to rediscover the wonder, the tears, the laughter, the joy

  of that time now long ago.

• July 19, 2012Campfire 14: Try to Remember

  Sometime in the preparation of each Chronicle I am reminded of The Old Man

  in the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. In that story the old man went out further

  and fished deeper waters than he had ever done before. Even after he had

  hooked his mighty fish there was doubt about who would give out or up first.

  In the old man’s case sharks destroyed the incredible fish before

  he could get back with it to his village. The first 14 Chronicles have made

  it made it safely home. In another day or two I will set out to sea, or more

  accurately, to see again. Discovering each Chronicle an adventure connected

  to a greater one. Thank you for sharing the journey.

• July 02, 2012Campfire 13: Scarlet Ribbons

  There are artists who played roles in the Folk Revival who had significant

  careers beyond folk music. John Phillips founded The Mamas and Papas after

  The Journeymen disbanded. Roger McGuinn left The Chad Mitchell Trio to help

  form The Byrds. Kenny Rogers had a stint with The New Christy Minstrels before

  becoming, well, Kenny Rogers. John Stewart, who replaced Dave Guard in The

  Kingston Trio, is remembered both as a solo artist and a songwriter, his

  most successful song being Daydream Believer. John Denver replaced Chad Mitchell

  in The Chad Mitchell Trio before going on to historic success as a singer

  and as a songwriter.As I continue to share my journey and to spin the strands

  of my career into yarns it is somehow comforting to know that it is part

  of a larger tapestry.

• June 19, 2012Campfire 12: Heart of the Heartland

  It breaks my heart to think of the amount of weapons our country continues

  to export to the rest of the world. It is also heartbreaking to think of

  how much the song When Johnny Comes Marchin’ Home continues to

  resonate.To watch and download the HD version of this Campfire please go

• June 04, 2012Campfire 11: Turn Around

  It is something to be remembering those first trips to Japan while creating

  new memories on my 30th trip to Japan. It is one of the great gifts of my

  life to grow up and now grow old with Japan remaining a big and important

  part of my life and career.
