In a public library as per usual. I love working in the chaos! I guess in a nuttyshell this blog is meant to circumvent a problem I've been having with online presence. I read somewhere that blogs are a great way of mitigating the core problem with social media. In fact I saw it on a blogging website of all places. According to Zonelet's mission statement:

"I(we) want to learn new things, but social media rewards shallow discussion."

If you know me then you know I'm no fan of shallow discussion... at least right now. At this time of my life. A time when things have been flipped upside down on a personal level. It's interesting! The last time this happened was the summer of 2020. A family member was about to pass, my family split and I went thru a hardcore breakup. As of right now 2/3 of those things have went down, but I'm not superstitious. What's interesting is what came after. I finally changed! I got sober (which was a challenge) and I began to take this music/writing/vagabond bullshit (somewhat) seriously. But blogging is something new, which is a form of change after all. Plus this is fun and I'll do more of it! BTW Music-wise I've got about 15-20 demos done/ songs written yet unreleased. Writing-wise I've got thousands upon thousands of words being created/edited/scrutinized daily. Driving home for XMAS, hope to see ya on the way -D.

Sometimes music does run on synchronistic terms, I'll admit it! Weeks after penning a new song 'Worry' I listened to a podcast about the so-called Jackpot Generation. Huge thanks to Arthur Krumins for hosting a singer/songwriting circle that forced my hand at finishing a few songs! Take a listen to the podcast episode that retroactively inspired the song HERE. Listen to the demo for new song 'Worry' HERE.
