When our route passed close to Kentucky, I knew just who I wanted to stop and visit. We lived in China for year longer, where we started learning to combine our contrasting artforms. At the time of our meeting, he had already been to seventy countries. José’s lust for travel made mine look like child’s play. It was as if the universe took my request to heart. Two months after that, José Luis and I crossed paths. A little message to the universe, asking for a fellow wanderer.Ī year later I put on my own wandering shoes again, and I moved to China. Every time we sang it, I remember feeling like I was sending a mantra out into the air. I learned the harmony to “Wanderer” and we added it to our setlist of songs. I dated, but it was frustrating because nothing ever really clicked. A breakup had left me pretty torn up, and after a few years of healing I was ready to find my person. ![]() See, I had been pretty lonely for a spell. My reaction was something along the lines of: One day, Jess shared a new song she had just finished with her Nashville songwriter, Colleen Francis. It was great because we both knew each other’s songs so well, we sang great harmonies for one another! (I would have to wait until AWTY times to see Jess M again…stay tuned for that story)!Įvery now and then, Jess L and I would play out around town. I still counted both Jesses as dear friends, though Jess M had moved to Texas. Eight years – and a whole lifetime later – I came back. I lived in Nashville for a year, then moved away to attend college. We wrote music together, shared hopes and doubts, and had some great laughs. We were all pursuing music, but all in slightly different genres. I had two friends when I lived there, Jess M and Jess L! Yep, two Jesses! I was seventeen and had just moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. ![]()
