This past weekend I worked on 3 songs that are currently posted on my Reverbnation page.
"Fincastle, VA" is a song about my grandfather who is honestly one of the most amazing people I have had the honor to meet. He was just fun, crazy, and entertaining. He also had one of the biggest hearts I have ever witnessed. He would dress up as Santa and go to orphanage's and retirement homes to spread Christmas cheer. He did not wear a fake beard because he grew one out. I mean you guys should really see a picture. I'll post one soon, it's very real. Oh yeah, and the guy also crafted wood handmade toys for his grandchildren and children. Really impressive work. So big belly, white real beard, and toymaker. I know, i wondered for years. Still do to some extent. The song is named "Fincastle, VA," because that is where he lived for so many years. Even though he was born in St. Louis, and lived in Arkansas and Richmond, VA. Fincastle is where I knew him the best.
"Blue Atlantic" is a song about a movie I recently watched. Childish or "stupid" as it may be it got me thinking. What if we were in that in between state. You know like between life and death. Would we accept it? or would we be kicking and screaming to come back to earth. How many of us have felt like that even though we weren't dead. I know I have many times.
So these songs are up on my Reverbnation and Facebook pages. Please listen to them and let me know what you think. Also click like, pretty please, with a cherry on top. I know they are not the best engineered tracks but unfortunately at this moment I don't have the bread to go record at a professional studio, so this is what I have.
The album will exclusively be free on the website, when it's up.
I've been chatting with a few photographers because I really need to get some photos up on the websites. Hopefully that will happen soon. My wife is going to paint the album cover. She's actually a very talented painter. She has recently painted the outside of our house. I wasn't happy about it at first but she amazingly did a beautiful job!
Oh yeah and for those of you aspiring to work in the music industry you're really missing out if your not listening to the CD baby DIY podcast.
