Lay it Down

Hello All, After this streak Iā€™ve been having, I was a bit worried that I may fall back into my pattern of inconsistency, or post every few months at best. I was trying to think of what point I should make,what scenarios,parables,etc. And of course, which song should I use to tie all those together in a pretty bow with some music facts for you. I had to really think about what has been going on lately and what I am trying to improve as to not feel like things are so bleak when it comes to continuing as musician,song writer,businessman and the other dozen or so hats that I am forced to wear these days. In my dealings with other musicians, Iā€™ve found that many donā€™t realize that they are wearing the hat(s) wrong or that they donā€™t fit. Iā€™m sure you that I mean they donā€™t know WTF they are doing. Not that I donā€™t make mistakes. But, I try to at least ask questions or speak up about what Iā€™m looking to achieve. This post is on the other side of the spectrum fro...

The Heat of the Moment

Hello All, I know last weekā€™s post somewhat contradicts what Iā€™ve said before about listening to what others have to say. Because good or bad it does taint your actions. If anything It was my way of showing those of you who are reading this that encouraging words (to put it mildly because this person used to the term ā€œbest everā€ to describe some of my work) can be motivation beyond any official accolades or on the other hand negative words from others. Now that Iā€™ve gotten back into the swing of things, Iā€™m starting to realize again itā€™s not so easy to maintain these posts. Especially since Iā€™m writing on two platforms now, which most of you were probably reading from the bandā€™s website. I had to go back into last weekā€™s post several times. The videos Weā€™re not in embedded properly so that you could just see them on this page. Same went for a few of the links I put up. So for those of you who were among those who looked at it soon after I posted it, I apolog...

One Little Victory

Hello everyone, Iā€™m sure some of you are in shock that Iā€™ve actually been consistent. I find it necessary to keep on going and sharing my experiences. no matter how mundane or subpar they maybe to some. But I hope that some of you can relate to these, or that the inspire you to make a positive change. As we know this past week, we experienced an earthquake and an eclipse on the East Coast. Iā€™m sure many are scrambling around, thinking that this has to be some big coincidence and things are going to start getting worse. Thatā€™s just the fear that I warned you about last week. Just ask yourself, donā€™t you think weā€™ve been through the worst already? I sure think so. Not only did the events of the past four years and many lives, But they have changed pretty much everyone who has survived. I watch people that once had strong bonds being torn apart by their conflicting views. Which isnā€™t anything new, Think of how many families donā€™t speak over politics. And like Iā€™ve always ...

The Promise

Hello everyone, I know itā€™s been months since I wrote some thing. I probably said that a few dozen times so itā€™s safe to say The only thing Iā€™m consistent at is being inconsistent( & Iā€™ve probably already said that too) Iā€™m just trying to find a way to create a regimen in order to rectify this. And if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears. I could just blame my absence on a number of things. Such as everybodyā€™s go-to excuse,ā€Iā€™m Busyā€. But I must admit that itā€™s lack of organization, combined with being overwhelmed with so many things I have to do indirectly in order to keep my project afloat. But I am not looking for any sympathy or patronizing. Even though a few medical issues had a rose, which kept me not just from writing, but also performing during the summer months, I enjoy playing outside with an acoustic guitar and a portable amp. Or ask they call it in England ā€œbuskingā€. Oh, obviously, I meant to post this during the s...
