the new year is here
in my mind i've been dreaming
of 2008
music is good the learning is good
masters work completed
reading more plays and texts
want to be smart
recorded a new demo last night
here are the lyrics

shaking off the dark
waving past the cold
you've been lying
about letting go

pretty as she does
is as quickly she goes
our past becomes someone
you used to know

as sweet as your are
i'm inside
won't you hold still
for a lil' while

tell it to the sun
anyway you can
i don't seem to mind
the same old plan

the tune is some fingerpickin' and
banjo which is typical... as always
i may post it later... maybe through
video?
june star, the joke,
is going out on that road
then feb. then mar. then apr. then may...
organization is my problem
a major problem
worse than money if you could
believe that.

the birchmere awaits
with delbert mcclinton
i can hardly believe
the future of that eh?
this is the gig where the audience
is not allowed to talk.
all of my hopes I ever had about
playing out now slowly transforms
into my greatest anxiety.

who would have thought.

ellen cherry, good luck on that
new album... i admire her...
she's been playing music full time
for 2 years? she has folders and files
and resources and good microphones
and good guitars... tons of talent,
seemingly endless energy.
i know she would question some of that
but that is the opinion i would have of her.
from my vantage point, at least.

punctuation! that's also something i've
been thinking about. i didn't think that
i would ever love a semi-colon... but boy do i.
it's a great little device; it allows you to combine
two independent clauses without have to use a
conjunction.
what we write is only as important as
how we wriet it. i think most of my
students ignore punctuation as if it didn't
matter much. man are they wrong. punctuation equals
intent. when you don't get it... you get used.

happy 2008
