This is my latest song. I’ve had the music written for a couple of years, but I struggled with a melody and words. It’s hard to find the theme sometimes. But I feel pretty good about this. If and when I record or perform this with others, I’ll probably leave space for some soloing. And…

I’m almost three weeks into a three month sabbatical. Figure I’d check in on some of the goals I had for myself. All in all I’d give myself a grade of C so far. I’ve gotten a little more regular with the gym, but I’m not back to being super-disciplined. Ideally I’d be lifting three…

I’m on sabbatical again. And again, I didn’t really plan it. I was trying to finish everything for work up until the last second. So here are some goals I have. Probably some other stuff. But I gotta go. Off to the gym.

I found some local singer-songwriter friends, and we’ve been encouraging each other. And we’re playing frequently at a local open mic. For some reason I seem to be blocked on…

I’m planning to post one recording every week. This week I’m doing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It’s a really beautiful song, and I can’t help playing it when I pick up a classical guitar.
