To Finish What You Started, You Have to Find it First
In the completion of my most recent song, I have encouragingly (though also embarrassingly) encountered a first in my writings: this has been the first time I have started something and given up on it, only to find it months later and with a different mind set, complete it with a sense of satisfaction. That’s not to…

Things That Never Seem to Change, Changing All the Time
As you may or may not have noticed (“may” if you’ve been to this site before, “may not” if you have not visited it prior to this entry), the site has undergone some changes. I’ve caught myself slacking on its upkeep, and thusly am I trying to rejuvenate it to a certain extent, including making it…

May Hope Find It’s Way to You
I have nothing more to offer than the sympathies and concerns of the helpless and empty-handed to the devastated people of Japan. It’s such a troubling state of mind, to only know how such a thing could happen, but have no means of understanding why. We are constantly reminded of the dangers the earth is…

More Than a Color with an ‘S’
With a line in mind, I’ve come to complete a new song attempting a style that I rarely work in: Blues (hence the bad joke in the title). Even in playing covers, I hardly ever land on that genre. It’s not that I have a particular problem with it, but rather the intimidation factor that…

Wanted: Cameras, and Those Who Know how to Use Them
I’ve been trying to become more accessible to the interested people of the internet world. My hopes had been to get some new footage of performances of some of my original work. Unfortunately, it would seem I associate with less people with video cameras than I originally anticipated. That’s not to say it’s not going…

Tip of the Hat: Singer/Songwriter Tom Hitt
It’s time for this month’s tip of the hat, which is fortunate considering February has been a slow month for things to post about. Regardless of that, the musician I’d like to commend today is certainly something to post about, along with something to hear, see and meet should the opportunity arise. This month goes to my…

A Special Thanks to Accidental Genius
In working on something new, I received something unintentional assistance from a friend. That is, I think it was unintentional. Either that or my friend’s use of foresight is far better than could imagine. A friend of mine had an art showing recently, for which he had printed out sort advertisement invitations. I was sitting…

The Gears Start Turning Again
Upon certain amounts of deliberation, I’ve decided to attempt a reasonable expectation for the sake of progress and productivity. I’m setting a tentative deadline for the complete and finished “Ready to Fall”. I have more than enough songs in mind to put on the end cut, and now it’s all a matter of getting things…

Tip of the Hat: Photographer, Matthew Mante Gray
This month’s edition of the “Tip of the Hat” posts! The honor goes to a long time friend and skilled artist who’s helped me out more times than I care to admit, Photographer Matt Gray. Years ago when I was starting college, I naively thought very little of the creative aspects involved in photography. I…

The Resolute Resolution
Proud to enter 2011, and proud to leave my thoughts of entering it in its 3rd hour. My resolutions are as follows: I resolve to make the best of all opportunities granted to me. I resolve to be more open towards the unknown. And most importantly, as the musician I am and the musician I…
