This is what I know


Well, it's Christmas season again. WOW! time is a flying. I have completed my CD "Circles I Run" now just waiting on others to get done what they get done. Today I sit at my computer trying to read and learn as much as I can about promoting, booking, distribution and anything else that goes with putting out a new CD, but what I end of doing is playing my guitar. If a page takes too long to load, I play my guitar, but what I noticed is over the past 2 weeks I haven't played my guitar. I have been working with my bro in law and just left it in it's case. Lately I've felt overwhelmed, anxious, even a bit pissed and am not sure why.
I went to Orlando w/ guitar in case and didn't play till the night of Shannon's Christmas party for Salon JW and even then wasn't sure If I wanted to. Well I did, got to play some songs and Jam along with David Watkins a great fella and super musician. I was happy drove 3 hrs home and smiled the whole time. Guitar back in the case, I go to work for Spence again lot's to do he is grateful for the help and I am grateful for a paycheck. Fast forward today. I am at my computer learning about (mentioned above) and WOW! I am happy I am playing my guitar, I am working on some tunes and I am realize. This is what I was made to do. Am I the best at singing, playing, writing, Nope!, but I am pretty damn good. So this is what I know. I am supposed to play music, I may not supposed to make a lot money playing music, but I am supposed to play. I love it I love to listen to it.

I pray that anyone reading this finds the passions in their lives and does those passions. As we end the year and soon begin another I pray that we live in the moments of our lives the best we can. Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
