Love & Pain Go Hand in Hand.

well, lots has been happening in terms of the new album and new writing, both lyrically and songwise. i have been playing a ton of shows and have noticed a little self-improvement along the way. i guess thats what you get when you practice and play shows. you get better. tonight i played at the "after school special". it was a really good show and i am sorry to those of you who missed it. i played a longer set which i am starting to like since i quit smoking. i feel like i can sing forever now. and so much easier and not as pitchy. i really like how the new songs are going over with people.  it is nice to hear good things about the songs you play, and just knowing i can still connect with the human heart makes me not feel so alone out there. i have 3 more songs to finish putting together and then i am off and running. but i may write them in studio with my producer Scott Bartlett of Tonesmith Studios.  It's a great studio and i am very excited to be able to get in there for my recording. i think this could be what i am most proud of in my whole life.  this record. it is going to be extremely personal and i want it to be perfect.

  i haven't been as faithful to the upkeep of my blog as i have wanted. i think sometime i just dont know what to say.  but you keep going and at some point something of importance will come out. i have been extremely busy in life and i am thinking of moving to a place that facilitates music a little more. I may need to escape...no, i NEED to escape.  But all in good time. so much yet to finish and prepare for. But for now, i will be fine. I have to be, because i have no other option. Escaping never solved problem's anyways. as a good friend of mine told me recently, "Just Breathe and find Peace in yourself".
