Compilation Recording with CSR!
Last night, we had an amazing time recording the compilation record for CSR. I am so honored to be featured on such an amazing talented line up of artists. There will be more on this as details become available.
In the mean time please enjoy this video of my new track that will be featured on the CD entitled "River Hymn".
"Calling Out Your Name" Instrumental Version Available on Spotify!
Upcoming Sessions
I don't know what to say right now, but I want to say it.
There always seems to be a stir of emotions as studio sessions come up. I haven't been to the studio before during this time of year, so it's hard to get my brain honed in on what I'm doing. Luckily, I have had this said stirring.
All of a sudden the songs start to make sense in the sequence I'm presenting them.

August
August: Summer's downshift.
It may still be hot, but the "Summer" is over.
It's a bit of a sad time. A time to remember loss. A time to recognize death as part of this life. To note the decay in the wobble of the spinning top.
Back To Work
I'd like to announce that I'm in preparation to go back to the studio to record, what I am now calling, the Water - EP.
There will be some other fun stuff to go along with this, and there will be more info on that later.
Vaporwave & .Gifs
I recently learned about this genre of music called "vaporwave". I'm really digging it.
I've also recently learned how to put .gif[s] on my blog, which makes for a more interactive experience in sharing. Check out these visuals from last weekend with my bros...
A couple of my best buds...

Refinancing
It's like the most adult thing I've ever done.
Summer Nights
Summer Nights in small towns is one of the best ways to spend a life. The fireworks were amazing, and it's so awesome to be in some of the best company with funnel cakes and snow balls.
Impact Church Family
I just got back from Church Camp at Trinity Pines with the youth group at Impact Church. I've been with these guys for almost three years, and I have to say that my relationship with the church (and this church in particular) has become one of my most valuable assets in life.
Last night I dreamed of Sam.
We were at my mom's house. It was night time. We started having small talk with each other as we were walking out side to go smoke a cigarette.
In the moment I realized that he had been dead, and I hadn't seen in a long time. We hugged each other abruptly and tightly.
We released each other from our embrace. I asked him if he was sleeping over at Mom's. He said he was sleeping at Vicky's.
Solstice
It was today or yesterday.
the summer usually has me more inclined for writing. In 2010, I first wrote of Summer's Lust. Sensuality is increased; and the foliage is thriving. It can be a dangerous season.

Interview with The Painter
At the beginning of the year, I got to meet an amazing artist: The Painter. We totally hit it off in this interview from Local Houston Music. The most exciting part about this is that The ETX Rocks Show syndicated it to all of their listeners. I hope you enjoy the interview and The Painter's Music.

Psalm 10
A place where...
This is a place where I feel home.
Piano Lessons
For the past few Fridays, I've been meeting with Elna Myburg for piano lessons. I often find myself impressed with her as a person just as much as I am with her musicality.
Today when I arrived, she had a glass of water with a sprig of herbal infusion in it. She is respectfully one of the classiest people I know.
No one ... Like you
I didn't get enough sleep last night.
I can have a million reasons why I am the way I am, but it doesn't change the way I am.
Change is more valuable than reason.
Sign of the Times
"Just stop your crying it's a sign of the times; you look pretty good down here, but you ain't really good."
As an artist, there are time of collection & inventory. Some of that time is seeing the display of imagery around you and interpreting the meaning around it.
As a Christian artist, that interpretation is to only be filtered through the Holy Spirit and Scripture.
