Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it...

Exciting times! I'll be playing for the next 3 weekends with Minutes to Live at various venues including the Riverside Farmers Market this Saturday at 10am and Caribou Coffee in North Druid Hills the following Saturday night! The following weekend, we have a few private events we've been asked to play, which means that we and maybe a few of you out there are doing a good job at getting the word out about Minutes to Live! On a side note, I'll be moving during this time to a great little pad near Rev. My new landlord is a great guitarist and we've been putting our minds together and contemplating world domination in the music industry... Mwahaha... So stay tuned my minions... errr I mean my willing followers... ;) Hope to see ya'll out in the next few weeks!!!

So last night was the kick off of a brand new project Nick came up for John and me to put together...a jam night at Rev. It was a great success! In all we had around 10 people show up with varying instruments including guitars, violins, banjos, bass, and several percussion instruments. We did round robin in a circle for a little over 2 hours filled with every type of music you could imagine.

The skill level of the musicians varied from just a few months of playing at home to ones who'd been playing the circuit for years. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and intrigue as people milled in and out for coffee, stopping for a few minutes to checkout the eclectic mix of people sitting at the back of the shop.

I have a feeling jam night at Rev will become as much of an institution as Rev's Wednesday Open Mic.

I urge everyone to come out to Rev on Thursdays with whatever you can play (guitar, bongos, shakers, or even just your voice) and join our circle. :)

Happily Ever After

You know in my dreams
Everything always goes differently
Books and movies have poisoned our minds
Into believing in Happily Ever After

The question remains at hand
What exactly happens when you get what you want
Are you finally satisfied
Or do you go on seeking more?

Do you ever just want to throw it all away?
See if the next hand dealt might be
Anything or everything better than here
Can I close my eyes and wish for another day?

Stop all the talking
Some things you can't take back
Holding the tongue is a martial art
Only few have mastered it

I can't take the lapping of the niceties
I crave the storm on the horizon
Reach out my sands to invite it to my shores
Raise up and meet it with equal resilience

Can you take me with you as you dissipate?
On to the next universe
Fading in and out of existence at our pleasure
Molding ourselves to the fates
