This Semester

This semester is shaping up to be a real doozy. Oh the life of a musician, I guess what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger in the long run. As this semester progresses I'm sure to know what I'm really made of, it is going to test me mentally, physically, spiritually, and some other ways I'm unsure of as of yet. But as long as I have God, family, my girlfriend, my band, and my other best friends outside of the band I'm sure everything will be ok. The Good Lord never said life would be a cakewalk. We all have trials and tests to go through and how we handle them when they come and where we end up after they are done is what makes us who we are.

So Far

This semester has been crazy and i know i'll get busier and busier as it progresses, but no one ever said life would be stress-free and easy........that is certainly not the case, but a little stress and work never hurt anyone, you just gotta learn how to prioritize. I guess in the long run all this work and stuff will pay off, I certainly hope so.

Now a trip down music row, I LOVE Gram Parsons and every project or thing he ever did. He was such a talent taken way before his time. He was like the John Lennon of country music I think, a little less folk than Dylan but if you are a songwriter in country or rock music Gram Parsons probally somehow influenced you. If you say he didn't start listening to him, the byrds, the flying burrito brothers, and the international submarine band. They will change you and your songwriting for the better. Also Mute Rooster is going strong and growing as a band we have some really exciting stuff we can't wait to share with the world. Me and Will also have fallen in love with the album "A Taste of Yesterday's Wine" by Merle Haggard and George Jones, its so good. In closing the two best performing singer/songwriters in country music right now in my opinion are Alan Jackson (I mean come on!) and Merle Haggard, who like a fine wine only gets better with time.

Busy Now

Well, I now have another class on my plate im gonna attempt to play bass for the au jazz band, we'll see what happens lol. But so far it is a very fun semester.

Been A Long Time

Alot in life has changed, I have a wonderful girlfriend who I fall more in love with everyday and I've written some new songs and I'm in a band called Mute Rooster right now..........me and my best friends started it last semester and we are doing great, I swear for for real that I'm really going to keep up with blogging on here from now on I swear!
