Make Today Count

It's been 4 years and Leap Day has arrived again. So, today is your extra day and free pass to make things count. What are you going to do?

First Steps

Madeline took her first steps this afternoon. I'm at home working today and went to grab lunch. All of a sudden Madeline stood up, looked at me, and took 5 unassisted steps towards a chair. Amazing. I'm so excited. However, I'm doomed now, right!? Soon she'll be out on the sports field and terrorizing the neighborhood. :)

Been working on a couple new songs to finish my upcoming new album. This is certainly food for inspiration.

My little fashionista

I almost forgot to mention my album fashion coordinator, Madeline. She has been avidly studying all the top fashion magazines to figure out what I should wear for my album cover (however, I'm thinking about using her on it). As long as it’s not just a bib and sunglasses, I’m looking forward to what she puts together for me. However, I’m a little timid as she’s currently only been browsing women’s clothing. Hmm…

Album Update: working underground

This is what happens when you become a parent. Since my free time is at night after my daughter has gone to sleep, I cannot bang away at an acoustic piano. So, I'm setting up shop in my basement as I prefer to work from home (yes, wires running everywhere). I need a place I can spend more time. I have my trusty Korg X3 and Yamaha P85. I need to do some rearranging, a proper chair, and probably some posters for scenery. :) However, this will suffice. I actually quite like it.

I plan to record (on an acoustic piano) late spring out in Los Angeles. I blame my producer who reserved dates with other artists prior to May (Dusk, why do you torture me!?). :) All the more time to get my new songs right. I'm actually re-recording one of my songs (TBA later) in its full version and slowing it up a bit. Until then...off to the basement.

Indiana Jones is back

I've been waiting for this a long time. I'm a huge Indy fan. Like many people, I heard rumors for years. Spielberg, Lucas, Ford, and Williams are back together. The trailer for the 4th film was recently released. Watch it here. Looking forward to a fun movie experience on May 22.
