Time Away

Hello, I'll dive right in. Sat morning I picked two people whom I consider to be close friends. PW Gopal, and Jim Trick. Both incredible songwriters, performers and just super guys. We drove to Rockledge to pick up Brant. Awwww Sausage Fest has begun. We led Worship at Brants church Sat night and Sunday morning. I had an great time worshiping with my guitar with some great musicians in the presence of God.

It's great being with these fellas and it stretches me and makes me want to be better at everything I do. Writing songs, reading the word, serving others and getting out of myself. In my selfish world it's times like these that make me look on my life and say. Thanks God for the Good and the bad, the boring and the mundane.

I will tell you more about things in the life of JT as the days progress.

Releasing,

I've thought about that word for quite sometime now. What does it mean? "to set Free" is a basic idea of it. Even better "To let Go" As I near the End of what has been a long 10 months of recording a new Record (CD) It is getting Close to the time I have to "Set it Free" or "Let it Go" CIrcles will be my 2nd Solo CD I wrote all the songs, I played all my own parts and I helped produce it from here in America while my former band mate and one of my best friends Played, engineered and Produced from Australia. It's easy to do this these days with Internet, but difficult to not be at every recording, mixing and mastering session. Trust comes to mind. I trust the people involved with this project and therefore I can sleep. It's funny at times I felt like I was going to take the country by storm with these songs, and other times I wondered if anyone would listen. Not sure it will sweep over the nation like a Noreaster, Probably not, but I think (i hope) someone will listen and get what I was trying to say in this portion of my life.

It's hard to Let Go, "Release", but it's harder to hold on. So next month I will "Release" my new CD "Circles I Run" I will pray the people that purchase or steal or borrow will listen with open ears and open hearts. Maybe, just maybe someone might connect with something i wrote, produced and sang on and will say. "Wow I know how he feels"
So for now, I wait and waiting is something I've gotten real good at, but soon "Circles" will be out, and I'll be waiting on something new.

Fall

Well, it's Nov 1st Shannon just had a birthday. It's still a little warm here in Florida for Fall. I have been playing some shows. More than last year not as many as i would like. I will not complain I am grateful for the times I am getting to share my music.
"Circles I Run' the new CD is in it's final stages, but still one thing , one instrument yet to be recorded. Awwwwwwww! cmon horn player make yourself known. it's hard to know were almost done and knowing that when it's done I will still have 15 days of waiting for the CDs to be pressed. Soon. For those of you that pre-bought the CD it's sounds amazing and I can't thank you enough for your support. It helps very much.

Well that's it for now, thanks for reading. Soon new music
