It's 8:30 in the morning. I'm having my first cup of coffee. Today's my birthday and I might have two or three more cups. Sit down. I've something to tell you. In six weeks I'll be packing up my lady, the U-Haul and heading to Colorado. Denver via the map on Sara's phone. My Dallas times have been good ones. I've been watered and talked to by to many that I now call family. Shucks. So I thought I'd reach out to you there in the internet and fill you in on what I've been doing.
My first solo CD Balance was released at the end of 2007. A few months later my Greenstar band got together, played a ton of local shows and recorded our first CD. I'm really proud of it. As a matter of fact, it's a fun explosion. The release was postponed due to my inability to have money. The band moved our separate ways for the next year. When the Denver move date was solidified I realized that I had a few loose ends to tie. Loose ends dangling like a half written song. So after a call to our favorite bar and a trip to Office Depot a CD Release party was born.
Before all of this. Before a lot of things, I sang for a rock band named Until They Arrive. We were tight. Tight like butter. Played and toured together for four years before disbanding in 2007. Final show discussions were tossed around but everyone was pretty burnt out by then. We all stayed in touch. A few months ago we started practicing again for a last show/going away party at Glenn's bar in May. I stared playing my electric again. Rock!
Also I've been playing the Rhodes for my boys in Jones. Their music has taught me a lot so far. I'm looking forward to playing with those cats as much as I can.
Uh.. let's see. There was something else. In February my friends at Phoenix Audio Drive started recording my new/old song Patterns. Full instrumentation. It sounds amazing and will be out there soon.
Thanks again Dallas for 12 sweet, sweet years.
