song school...

all along the way I have had opportunities to expand and grow this musical life. i have taken up some, i have let some pass me by. this year an invitation to snowbirds song school has snuck up on me and i am intrigued and curious. never before have i attended a song school, so perhaps it is time to do the un-done and water down these musical sprouts i wear. even if my introvert side says oooh scary unchartered waters... i think i may i think i might, i know i can.

Solo stuff...

Geetar. Yes I have taught my own self how to make one string instrument harmonize with my soul. I have written many simple songs, and crave to create more.
I have begun the recording process with The Kinfolk Family Band, and holy cow amazing the experience thus far.
I am proud of my list of musical accomplishments, I also know I have many more to make happen.
So this blog of this beautiful day is a reminder to my self that I can keep on making the magic that is music. I know growth is happening every time I play. I know musical knowledge is flooding my brain. I know the music in me is celebrating victory cause I am alive and well and thankful for the ability to play. So thats what I will do. Band stuff, solo stuff, new stuff old stuff, all of it, Quite happily.

Kinfolk Band...

So many choices for this musical momentum. I am getting better and better at efficiently making them. At least I like to think so. Among the decisions, what to call my new band ( learn more in "buck wild" ). This silly project for 2009 deserves a good good name. So my family band as I refer to 'em shall be called....Kinfolk Band...and well we quite like it, do you?

choice & the battle of the self

I have never before in my entire existance known the true meaning of self, until now that is. The reason I say this is, I have relized that the only way to find true self is to be solitary. To experiment with talents and or passions freely to find what works for the individual. I have been soul searching for a while now, contemplating my lifes endless successes and tiring trials and as a whole I know now where it is I want to go and who it is I want to be. That my friends is my self. I am happy here as me, as much as me as I can be. Part of that me is the music I play. I have mentioned before this phenomenon if I may and I have had many choices delivered in persuing this part of myself. And the other side of me, life and family. I deserve both in perfect parellel to happiness. So now I am faced with choice..... Choice, the answer to the brains endless desire to spin its wheels. Choice....I have many choices to make from here, many wheels spinning. I am consistantly performing in this little town a growin' and now I have to decide how to keep up this momentum. I have a full time job, rent to pay and a darlin' daughter to assist into adulthood. Oh yes, I typically forget, there is also me to take care of in the midst of it all. So my decision making process is a bit jar'd at the moment.....how can I divi' out time accordingly to create win win situations all around in every facet of this jem I call life. This is where the self and the universe collide in a sense. Now how do I choose to balance them out? At the moment I am anxious to create many musical moments in Salt Lake, and out side the city too. At this moment I am anxious to create the perfect life situation for me and my family....I long for unity and creation to become of me....Family & Music....could music become part of my family in that I won't have to choose between the two....could they just line up accordingly and entwine together and then wrap themselves around little old me? This is where my thoughts lie today. I am content with myself. Now I get to move forward, no hurry I suppose, no hurry to make that decision....perhaps taking this life day to day is the exact way to pursuade the answer in this brain o' mine....the wheels are turnin' endlessly.
