Well now, it’s Star Wars Day in my world and the legendary bassist, Ron Carter’s 85th birthday. World’s collide and it all makes sense to me. Spring is schpringin’ and you can feel the energy of people getting back out in the world and doing stuff. My magnolia tree is getting ready to bloom and many of my perennials are starting to show signs of life. I still have about 20 bags of leaves left over from this fall since the maples don’t drop their leaves until the last possible moment, and my yard waste collection stopped the week beforehand. So, plenty to do on the home front, and plenty of practicing to do for these upcoming gigs. But before we get to that I have to say, I have played and attended several shows over the past month and have been so very happy to talk and catch up with many friends and musicians. Everyone has fresh stories to share and mostly, positive outlooks remain. We’ve all been through a long period of isolation and introspection, and that inevitably brings about changes in the way people think and act, and in what people want out of life. I’m not expecting a return to ‘normal’, and frankly, I don’t want whatever that was anymore. I’m looking at creating a more focused, more deeply impactful approach to my life that includes the best music I love to play and create, and the best things I can provide for my family. Thanks for listening to my quasi-philo-so-phizin’ and supporting my musical adventures! I truly appreciate it!<\/p>\n
I have two new groups debuting this month!<\/p>\n
