2020 What a year…

To say I’m not johnny-on-the-spot with updating my site is a terrible understatement. But in all fairness, 2020 hasn’t been a good year to be inspired and stay on top of things like managing a musical website. My family and I are doing what everyone else is trying to do : hang in there. There’s a certain bittersweetness to this time of the year for me. Not having shows, gigs, or even many writing opportunities has given me time off to reset and focus on other things in my life, but not performing my Halloween show and ultimately all of the shows December usually brings, is heartbreaking. The hardest part is staying creative. So, I’d say to all of you creative types out there : find your muse anyway you can. I’ve been able to clear my mind working in the yard, and from that clarity comes some unexpected creative moments. I hang on to those moments tightly, as they are a rarity these days. I’ve been able to transform them in different ways…some into songs, some into stories, and some into bigger projects that I save for a future date. My story in all this will be different from yours, as yours will be different from others, but the moral of all these stories is to stay as positive, focused and as creative as possible. Remember, what we as musicians and artists do brings light into the world, and right now, it’s pretty dark out there.
