I Reflect Therefore I Am and Therefore I Shall Continue The Journey

Yours truly pondering in a meadow somewhere in Missouri.

I'm a very reflective guy. That's why I try not to look in the mirror too much.

Ha, ha - funny!

Seriously, I HAVE been reflective (Of the most meditative kind minus the "transendental" aspect) of late. I believe I'm on my 6th year with Hotel California A Salute To The Eagles. Goal #1 was to take part in some really cool musical situation where I didn't have to play in bars 5-nights-a-week for a buck, but where people were actually paying attention to the music. I found H-Cal. and Holy-Divine-timely-intervention! - it was a perfect match!

This gig I knew would support my songwriting "habit" (Goal #2), which consists of learning the songwriting craft, writing, and recording the best songs and instrumental tracks I could possibly write and continue improving with the passage of time.

Lo and behold, I found out how much I enjoyed performing on the big stage and how much I enjoyed learning THAT whole thing. Connecting with the audience, hitting those necessary high-notes on certain songs, playing my parts correctly (ha ha!), etc. This as well is a never-ending, though rewardingly exciting, path of continued learning.

So this is where I am. Double-edged sword, double-whammy, however you want put it. I was formerly just a guy wanting to write songs and play some cool gigs. Now I'm a guy who I think has grown to love the stage as well. From the feedback I get, wow! - I'm touched.

Putting out a CD in the future? I don't know. Not a very focused...umm,...focus... to get somewhere in the music biz. I've just reached my 50th year on this planet. Guess this late bloomer/dreamer is just re-evaluating. I'm very blessed to do what I do. In the words of California PBS Television host, Huell Howser, "The Adventure Continues"!

Thanks for reading. God bless you in your endeavours!

Added another track as a Free Download

Got a photo with Imogen at a listening event in Hollywood for her latest CD

I've added another track to the free downloads section. "The Song That Never Was"

Singer, Imogen Heap donated these vocals to an online charity project and hundreds of songwriters like myself added their own tracks to them.

So what you hear are her vocals just as they were mixed and uploaded. And then I added my own chord structure, rhythm arrangement, etc. on my Mac, mostly on the road somewhere in Florida.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it, but it was a whole lot of fun to do!  It would not be proper for me to sell this track so I put it up for a free download. Hope you enjoy it.

If you're already on email list, it should be automatically available to you.
