“Treadin’ Water”

I just posted a new song to the songwriting podcast. You can check it out here. 
I actually wrote a new song yesterday that oughta be up there soon. Today I have the day off, so I plan to have a brunch date with Pam, and then do some more recording!!

And the winner is…

Last night’s party was pretty great. My brother-in-law Joel and I recorded a song for a Christmas song contest at work. We did a new version of “Deck the Halls.” It had a somber twist to it. Basically, it contrasts the super-happy “Fa-La-La” attitude of the Christmas season with the fact that for a lot [...]

“How to Fish”

I wrote another song this week. It’s different. I’m not much on “social commentary songs,” and I’m certainly no Bob Dylan, but this song just sort of came out. With election time coming to a close, I’ve been thinking a lot about government, the church, people in need, and how all those things tie together.

Fall, Change, and a New Song

This past weekend Pam and I made some changes around the apartment. We’re both getting a little sick of apartment living, so we changed things up a bit, and it’s pretty refreshing! We got some bookshelves and added curtains to all our windows. The biggest change, though, was swapping the studio and bedroom. Now the [...]

Rainy Day

First things first, this week’s podcast is up.  Check it out here.  
Secondly, it’s quite the rainy day here in Fort Wayne.  It’s one of those sit-on-the-couch-and-read-a-book-while-sipping-a-Vanilla-Coke-Zero kind of days.  Except it’s sit-on-the-couch-and-study-gross-nursing-textbooks for Pam…close enough.
Thirdly, I’ve been doing a lot of recording lately, mainly simple guitar-vocal stuff.  I’ve got a few projects I’m working on. [...]

A Musical Note

So I had an idea. I’ve been a musician for as long as I can remember. My mom tells me I used to go around singing to myself all the time as a kid. I wrote my first song while in a band in high school, and my senior year I [...]
