Steel a Glance
As in “Pittsburgh, aka The Steel City, at first glance”. That’s the title joke. I thought it was a bit of a stretch. Anyway… I’ve been in Pittsburgh since Sunday evening. As a city, I hold my qualms with it, same as any big city. I’ve been getting wonderfully lost and figuring routes from here…

The Grand Adventure
It’s really not a fitting name. I’m not going particularly far, and where I’m going I won’t be for long. I’m not entirely sure it would qualify as an adventure at all, let alone a grand one. But my goodness, does it feel good to refer to it that way. I described it as such…

Ketchup
One of the suffering categories in my falling behind here would be discussing on going writing projects, or “songs” as they are so often referred to, attempted or otherwise. Since the last song I discussed on this site, I’ve actually completed quite a few, and through being distracted with other lovely nonsense and procrastination, I’ve not…

And Back To First Gear
So while the summer was busy and exciting, things are now starting to slow down considerable in the musical doings. That’s not to say they won’t pick up and their won’t be things to write about, its just one thing at a time, right? So this is me kind of committing the cardinal sin of…

Serendipity
So this is a story I’ve considered sharing for awhile, but hesitated for various reasons. The biggest would be this story requires giving thanks for the people involved in it, but being wrapped up in the moment, I failed to get their names. Regardless, if you are the people involved in this story, you know…

Rough Cuts
Its time to admit it. I officially have too much time on my hands, being a “full time musician”. Thankfully, now that that’s out in the open, I find myself more dedicated to writing on a regular basis, posting more often for the website (not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing), and…

Do It and Do It Right
I would like to take a moment of awe and appreciation for being someone fortunate enough in life to have something that makes sense to me. It’s more than just the enjoyment of writing and playing music. There’s just times in life when you know that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. A…

I’ll Take One of Everything
Influenced by recent musical company, I’ve worked on writing something in a style I’ve found myself more and more drawn to as of late: Bluegrass. Most of the time my intention in writing a song is more in the message or feeling the song is conveying, not so much the style in which it falls…

Singing, Painting and Drinking
What more could we ask for? Tonight it begins! Arts and Drafts (I believe the 8th semi-annual?) starts today at the Brewerie/Union Station in Erie at 7pm tonight and is going till Saturday, with music all three nights. Always an exciting time for people on both ends of the spectrum. Art lovers and artists, musicians…

If Only I Knew Other Musicians…
Completed something new this week. Relieving really, I was on a pretty rapid writing trip through July, but the block came back right around August. But here we are, with something new that I’m enjoying. Short song called “Men of Words”. Upbeat tempo, a little insightful, a little nonsensical, but I think most all, I’m…
