the time between

A lovely, calm and quiet Sunday morning. Soon enough I'll head out on a run.

It's been so long since I've done any blog entry of any sort. Thank God. Everything else on this page is just whining. I think at some point in time this was or is supposed to be a music focused blog and I'll try to stick to that. But, I am also getting married so............

Deathcard is done. It will be released soon enough(tax return) In reality,as I've been telling folks,instead of releasing it I got a bunch of electric guitar gear. That is half true. It's a good thing I did because it gave me a new point of view. Really it allowed me to get reacquainted with an old friend. I learned to play on the electric and found my connection to music through it. Only when I needed to be quiet while writing at 2am did I discover my father's Ovation.

So I got very in to acoustic and that was all fine and well. But, we all need a change some times. So I've been fortunate to come in to some nice gear and it's a delight. It's helped me to hear things again. Hear full arrangements and textures. I missed that.

Plus, it's given me some time away from the acoustic. Now, when I pick up the Gibson the sound is energizing and has something to offer. (It is easy to take a beautiful tone for granted.)

All that said I feel and know that my writing will change. My life has changed. As I mentioned I am getting married. And I've always struggled with writing about positive things. Which is rubbish. I never allowed myself to be open. I have never sat long enough to let the truth come through or to feel the light that wants to guide us. It's there and that's great but, even better it helps to bring the darkness to the light. In all life and love there is joy and equal amounts of grief and loss. I think that balance is going to come out in....what ways? We'll see...

I'm excited for the future, for new collaborations and ones that are long overdue. I'm so thankful for the endless support and love I receive. For the everyday and long months between.

More later.
