The Music Blog

I am currently writing new songs for my next album, while I am on my California 3 month music/kung fu tour. It will be another acoustic album, and hopefully the songs will be quite different than anything I have written before. I have been using different tunings, strange capo’s and visiting many different places for potential inspiration. I even drove by Neil Young’s Ranch up off of skyline drive to see if any of his old acoustic energy’s were floating around. While up there I kept thinking about Jim Stephen’s and our high school trip to Colorado while we listened to Harvest by Neil Young, an album that changed my life.
One of my most favorite places on this earth which is not too far from his ranch is Moss Beach which is just north of Half Moon Bay. I have visited there a lot and when I am there I seem to be taken over by the nature, the old cyprus tree’s and the tide pools. I have meditated many times in the tree’s there. While I am there I feel completely content, a feeling that usually eludes me generally in life.

Hopefully I will have my new album ready to record in another month….

I had fun at the Wine Down at Malones Grill in Scotts Valley, CA..

It started out strange as a power adapter went out right before I went on, but I managed to find a store nearby and get another power strip in time. It was hot, lots of people though and they kept asking me to turn it up. It was cranked up quite a bit, and the more wine everyone drank the more they wanted the music turned up.

It was fun…
