Yesterday was my birthday and I celebrated it with some friends at a Japanese restaurant in Bahrain called “Bushido”. The food and hot sake
were delicious and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. If you look closely at the accompanying photo, you can’t help but notice the ecstatic face of a man who has just had “Happy Birthday” sung to him by a bevy of Bushido beauties. Afterwards we went to “Trader Vic’s” and heard a killer bee Cuban band.

I’m counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until I can catch the first leg of my trip home on the evening of June the 29th.

Hello world! Welcome to my very first blog.

First and foremost, I’d like to say Happy Father’s Day to all of the deserving Dad’s out there. My own father, William Weldon “Bugs” Huggins passed away on June the 18th, 1994. He was a unique and special character and I think about him and miss him each and every day.

I’m currently in the Middle East (and I’m not talking about Ohio either), but will be heading backing to Sweet Home, Alabama in about a week and a
half. Dorothy from ”The Wizard of Oz” said it best: “There’s no place like home”. My number one priority of course is getting there. After that, I’m just gonna enjoy each and every moment, day by day. Of course I have a lot of recording scheduled while I’m home, but we always have so much fun that it never seems like work. I’ll keep you posted on the results.

Over and out.
