"...just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist."

Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
The shadow from my dreams
fades into my own reality
meanings and signs
soft moments of déjà vu
trickle down my spine

If I'm not seeing things
Then why do I see you
ushering in and out of time
a whisper of what was
a flash of what will be
seeping into my being

This moment in the 4th dimension
Where time does not occur
feeling I've been here before
because I have
because I already am
one enormous figure eight

Life gives us brief moments with another...

An old caller knocked on memory's door
tried hard to turn away
but I let the door open
and allowed my mind to wander
through the old stomping grounds
of that time that marched on
I could hear the old footsteps
and I turned around
saw the ghost of what was once
my life, your life, our life
the floor boards moaned
from the lack of use
after being worn down to almost nothing
so long ago
the dust settled was disturbed once again
my fingerprints still visable from my last trip
through this house of unlocked doors
no stone, no trinket left unturned
when meaning was trying to be found
on why this place stood empty
and yet never hollow
yes, there is something lingering there
is it anything but me
is it anyone but a fading memory

Only looking forward, building on the past, but not living in it

Only looking forward, building on the past, but not living in it

If I spent any more tears
If I tried to pick up lost time
If I went on unfounded fears
If I forgot that I was fine
I just can't
Not anymore
Never again
if not on my own terms
If not a reciprocation of actions
If not for lessons already learned
If not for all the gone by facts then...
but I won't
not any more
Never again since you can't be there for me
since I can't be there for you
since there can't be a we
since there's only room for new
not the past
not any more
never again

There's music in all things, if men had ears, The earth is but the music of the spheres. ~Lord Byron

Open mic at Rev has become a beacon of amazing talent in the North Atlanta area. It's a unique mixture of originals and covers, however the performers are great at making the covers their own.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of female performers who have started to call Rev their own. A younger ensemble called Bella's Wings (I think) has graced Rev twice now with their exceptional sound. They will be performing a solo show at Rev on Saturday, January 17th.

I urge everyone to go out and support them. I should be out at Rev next Wednesday, if anyone would like to join me!

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It’s my favorite part of the business.

Last month, I had the privilege to open for Nadira Shakoor at the Clayton County Performing Arts Center. My friend and producer of my CD Russ Bledsoe came to accompany me and we had a wonderful performance.

Nadira and her group were amazing musicians that really inspired. Several of them actually live and work in the Atlanta and surrounding communities.

The shelter and interfaith group that hosted the event reached their goal for the holiday season.

I want to thank everyone who made this possible!

Open Mic is Back!

So, open mic has officially resumed at Rev Coffee under the new ownership of Nick. I'm no longer officially running open mic. I do help out as needed and love being there when I can, but due to other commitments, I do best as an assistant.

This past week was fantastic fun. We had around 7 different players/groups, all of which played a variety of music in the acoustic rock and country genres. We had mostly originals with just a splash of covers, mainly non-mainstream covers. If some of the performers had not said "so this is a cover...” no one would have realized the performer hadn't written the song themselves.

The next Rev Coffee open mic is Wednesday, January 7th. If you find yourself needing some good music to listen to or want to get some jam time in with the regulars, come on out to Rev that night and I'm sure you'll find exactly what you’ve been looking for... :)
