Before I was a singer songwriter or ebook writer or website content writer…I wrote poems…a lot of ’em. This is a scanned poem from an old white notebook of poems I wrote back in 1977-78. It’s called “Temporary.” (that’s why I called this post “temporary words, clever huh) It’s part of a 37 page ebook I created. I’ll see what I can do to make it … The rest of the story…
1954 Was The Coolest Year Ever And could I say that if it wasn’t true? Well…yeah…but it is true. Ken McCarthy (famous for the System Seminar…probably the coolest internet marketing intensive ever) claims the coolest year ever was 1959. As Maxwell Smart would say “missed it by that much”. And one of his reasons is because he was born that year. So, I assert … The rest of the story…
One of the definitions of “patina” in my computer dictionary says: “an impression or appearance of something: he carries the patina of old money and good breeding”. Well, I’m not from “old money” and “good breeding” is in the eyes of the beholder. But I agree with something I read on Seth Godin’s blog about patina…it’s earned. He talked about how shiny (new…current…trendy), while necessary and … The rest of the story…
Anyone Ready For Some Summer Fun? [jwplayer mediaid=”2608″] Sometimes it’s just a matter of perspective. In the video I was driving through a canyon in Colorado only about 120 days ago. And I might be able to make the same kind of video in just another 120 days. In the meantime, it’s over 100 degrees, and it feels like no self-respecting snowflake would ever … The rest of the story…
Well, the Summer Solstice for 2012 has arrived. This is also called the longest daylight day of the year. And it makes me ponder time. Einstein had a theory about time…that it’s relative. And while the elements of the theory can be divided into general and special, and we could get all complicated and discombobulated…let me just say that today I believe it to … The rest of the story…
…you’re probably right. I made up that phrase a few years ago, and I still stand by it. Think about it for a second. If you have something on your mind…and you “feel” uneasy. Or you feel a bit “off”. Or if you think you’re wrong about it… You’re probably right. And it’s probably best to heed your intuition. Step aside. Step back. Or … The rest of the story…
“Ode To Joy” or Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is also known as the 10th movement of the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147 composed by Johann Sebastian Bach It’s a very cool piece of music even for the 21st century. Normally I wouldn’t write a blog post about an advertisement…but this one I had to share. It’s awesome. I’m gonna have to get me one of … The rest of the story…
Call me wacky, but I’m a singer songwriter who wants to know why people like or don’t like my music. 🙂 So, on that note (pun intended) I’ve created a cool visual survey. You can check out the slides to lyrics of 11 of my songs in the widget below. And all you have to do is go through the slides and give a … The rest of the story…
Back in 1989 I wrote a bunch…and I mean a bunch of songs. I was a singer songwriter on a mission to get all of the ideas out of my head that I could in a year. Almost all of them were only recorded on old analog 4 track gear, and I’ve never gotten around to re-recording, remixing, and re-mastering them. I think I … The rest of the story…
You’ve probably read the story…a well-known musician says he became a singer songwriter because he saw it was a way to “get the girls“. For some reason the girls thought the singer songwriters were somehow more sensitive and caring. Yeah, they could sing the words that would pierce deeply into the heart of the hopeful girl and fill her with hope. Well, I could … The rest of the story…
