New Beginings

Wow it's really been 2 months since I've written!? I'm still playing the childrens music with Brian Vogan and that is still fun. Sunday we played at a pumpkin patch and it was awesome. There were so many familys and kids enjoying the two sets we played.
Brian asked me to join another project with him and Kory doing more "non kids" pop music. The idea is that everybody brings songs to the table and we work on them together. This is perfect for me because I'm good at writing most of or part of a song, but lack something that helps me finish them properly. This is also perfect because Brian knows a ton about songwriting, harmony, chords and such. Kory also has a lot of knowledge on the subject. In addition to knowledge on the subject they both have such passion and enthusiasm that is infectious.

I am really excited to learn from these guys and I am feeling like this is the path I'm meant to be on. I've been thinking about going back to school possibly for songwriting or recording or some mix of the two, but right now I think this is a huge opportunity to learn about songwriting and quite possibly better for me than going to school.

And now it's up to me. I need to lock myself in my room and get to work. Luckily it's raining outside and it will be pretty much everyday until spring.

Here's a nice video from Brian Vogan's first album. We are currently in and out of the studio working on the second album.
