Be heard

"Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice."
~ Robert Fripp

This is a great way to look at music in an attempt to understand many artists. Personally, I'm not out to sound or be like any other musician. I'm simply telling a story (not always my own) by expressing emotion. Listeners can take it or leave it. I'd rather be unlikely than a dime a dozen. :)

The BIG 1

Madeline turned one year old today (that's her on the right sporting her Hoosier pride). WOW! It feels like only a few days have gone by. To say the least it's been an unbelievable year. Maddie's been the main inspiration for my next album, which is taking longer than anticipated. I decided I had to at least experience a full year (all 4 seasons) with my little girl before having the right concepts and emotions in the songs.

And speaking of years, the new year is now upon us. Maddie will be walking, clearly speaking all types of words and phrases, learning how to use the potty (well, that's the hope), and much more. Life gets busy, exciting, rewarding, and entertaining all at the same time. By the way, I swear Maddie's nose is turning orange. She's a vitamin A fanatic.

Personally, this past year was quite a life changing, eye opening adventure for myself. Many growths, rebirths, adjustments, you name it. Time to move forward.

To 2008... Cheers!
