Life is Amazing

Life is amazing in its weirdness and diversity. Every day is a stunning display of the fireworks of the human heart. Bang bang, and then your work here is done.

Tidying Up

I have decided to get back to work on some recording. I want to finish up my CD, which I put on ice a while ago for various reasons. I have been going through the files on my Yamaha AW2816, my digital multitrack, and basically cleaning up the drive and optimizing it for further work. There was a lot of junk on it. I basically took everything off of it except the files for the potential CD, and one or two new song ideas I have been working on. I backed up everything and defragged the drive. It feels good to tidy up. I'm also looking to buy a bass. I do most tracking myself. My buddy Brandon Graham let me use his bass for over a year, but he needed it back. I love playing bass. As I am the dummer also, I feel I can really lock in to what I'm plaing on drums, since, well, it's me also. I am in my head (except when I'm not). It's just another expression. But hey, whatever the song calls for, I'm after.

I want to get this done so I can start a project with my brother Roger. It's time for us to put our heads around some collaboration on originals.

Glorious

It's a glorious new morning. The air is crisp. The hot weather has broken, and the sky is big. This time of year does something to my soul. I bet there's a place that feels like this all the time, but if I was there, I'd probably tire of it. But I'd like to give it a shot!

I See September

Five years since the falling. The unspeakable tragedy. And yet the pain still lingers. The question remains. Why?

New Expressions

I have new things to express on a sunny new day. This time of year brings out my creative urges. Don't forget that the ideal of perfection is an immobilizing force and an unrealistic pursuit. There is something to be said about just doing the thing, and not worrying about the outcome.

I am stunned by the persistence and the passage of time.

Quiet Saturday

It's a quiet and overcast Saturday morning here in MB. Betsy and I work until three today. It's a short workday. The season is winding down, and that will open up some time for some writing and recording. Dare I say I will be able to finish up my cd? It's about time. The Yale Brothers gig has ended at Ron Jon's for the time being. Rog and I will be putting up another podcast real soon.

I like days like this. It's a whole lot cooler today than it has been. I'm ready for a change in the weather.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!

Happy New Month!

Live your dreams, unless you wake up and find something better. In whichever case, rock your world!
