132: I Woke Up Today
And it seems like my back has taken a turn back towards the worse. It was ok yesterday. Perhaps I just slept on it wrong. Saw Owen & William Elliot Whitmore last night and not only was it an amazing show, but I ran into old friends. And wouldn't you know it, i was in a talkin' mood...
So, at 10 am this morning, I head back to Northwestern Memorial for my super white blood cell shot and also my last eye checkup. It's been a weird year for sure. And it's getting weirder. On Tuesday, I leave for... a cruise?! Yep, that's right. As luck would have it, i've been invited to tag along for a 3 day jaunt to the Bahamas. Incredible. I can't think of a happier, sunnier, more exotic place to lose all of my hair! Another fun aspect of the trip is that i'm still planning on recording jingles for the new Threadless shirts showing up on May 1st. Expect some Carribean flair? In the words of the immortal Billy Ocean, "Carribean queen, now we're sharing the same dream, and our hearts that beat as one, no more love on the run." Not very appropriate, but hey, Billy gets so few props these days.
One last thing, i can't help but laugh out loud at how pathetic i look in that picture from the last post. LOL, my friends, LOL. I'm not that miserable!
... see you tonight at Schuba's! I open for Eef Barzelay! Last Chicago show for awhile...

Have a good trip!
william whitmore has been some of my favorite sounds lately.
if anyone deserves a trip to the bahamas, its robert nanna!
Nanna + steel drums = Pure genius!
Have a great time!
Last week I was planning on buy some tee-shirts from Threadless then I saw ""All's Unfair" - a song about this tee by Bob Nanna". I got pretty excited to listen and the obvious. All songs are f*cking great.
have a good trip.
your a trooper
your writing is so tightwired and acrobatic i can just sit and read the lyrics like its poetry.
get well soon.
There is a lot of people in Brazil hoping and praying for you. Get better and send news as we are worried.
Just wanted to let you know that I think about you every day -- for real. Get better!
Love,
Eric (very likely a member of your Karas :))
Bob, we're all worried, we need an update. Hang in there, and dont forget how much we all love you!
hello bob!
i hope you're passing out under the sun turning pleasantly pink and falling out of palm trees in pursuit of coconuts like the true rocker you are. but of course you'll stop just short of jet ski flips due to your sense of humility and the fact that you forgot to pack your neon orange mesh tank top, which is requisite wear for tropical jet ski maneuvering.
in pursuit of coconuts,
your old friend

hey bob, i know you'll have heard this a lot but you're totally amazing in so many ways, i really admire you and am thinking of you over here in england!

Hi Bob. You don't know me - but I saw you play in London way back with Burning Airlines, and in Denver for the '04 reunion show. You've been an inspiration to me musically for so long, and I wish you all the best in your battle. Stand strong and just try to live your life to the fullest! You WILL beat this...you have such a great attitude to it all..and that is what will get you through it. Control it - don't let it control you. I know...that's easier said than done - especially for someone not going through anything like what you are. But if anyone can get through it - you will.
UPDATE THE BLOG. IT'S BEEN A MONTH.
hello Bob Nana
i hope you play in Brazil soon!
god bless you
god gonna help you !
hey bob, we miss you... will you come soon to europe?
xoxo
