Friday night I worked with my old buddy Mike Shaw at the Big Spring Jam festival in Huntsville, AL, playing cuts from his "New Songs and Hymn Reconstruction" CD project. We kicked off the entire festival at 6pm on the First Baptist stage. Don't let the title fool ya...it rocked!
Mike's music is very modern and alternative, but reworks some timeless songs and hymns in a very creative way. He also has some original tunes that are excellent. Check out his site at www.mikeshaw.net.
After playing our set, we checked out a few more bands and then I headed the vehicle north for Nashville and home!

About Me
- George Vinson
- George Vinson is not cool. While that may seem to be a terrible judgement, look at the tell-tale signs of 'non-coolness'. He's old (46, just like the gauge of the low E string on his trusty Stratocaster... of course, these days if you're over 25 you are over the hill). Secondly, he's not rock star skinny (his waist size is closer to his age than to the number of years he's been playing music). And while GV does an admirable job of staying up with all the cool new music (he evens likes a lot of it), his lack of standard Nashville haircut and regulation glasses (whether needed or not) only further emphasize the point. So, considering the evidence, George is amazingly unfazed by it all. Through his Project Onefifty ministry, he continues to play his music all around the world, slowly and surely making new fans. But more importantly, the influence behind his muse and music is being acknowledged... one gig, one song, one person at a time. Wow... that's almost... well... cool!
