Catching Up With Nathan Clark George - New DVD in the Works!

Transparent: Nathan, you seem to be ‘living the dream.’ For the people that don’t know, describe your life, as you travel with your family and play music. NCG: Three years ago we decided to put all our things in storage, give up our apartment, buy a motorhome, and hit the road with our 5 children! It was a crazy time, to be sure, but we had no desire for my wife and children to be at home while I was on the road.

Well, what I mean is that he put us on his top ten Myspace Friends. He has hundreds of "porn star" friends, who started sending us friend requests....so, after some debate, we accepted them. Then some amazing messages started arriving! I think we have a dozen or so messages from different porn actresses telling us how much a certain song or songs had ministered to or spoke to them.

Tim and Stephanie Pierce, Finding Their Place in the World– 8000 Miles at a Time

TCM: Wow. Talk to me about the process. Stephanie: Well, we went down to the library and got every travel book known to man. ‘Hiking books’, ‘things to do books’… it seemed at first we had 3 books for every state! We finally returned the books and just decided we were going to open up the map, and find the most backwoods way of getting wherever we were going!
