Maybe I'm Amazed

Why I love music: Sir Paul at Comerica

As our EP is about ready for release, I find myself in a reflective mood. In "Before You Go", we talk about change, and in a time of change, it's nice to know that music will always be there. It's nice to know that this new EP will be there.

This year, I feel like I appreciate music more than ever. I know I'm having more fun with songwriting than I ever have, and that can be said for the both of us on the new album. For me, there are certain moments where I know that music gets to me like nothing else can. That happened with McCartney at Comerica Park in July, and it changed the way I write songs and appreciate music.

I don't need to post a full review of this show, though it is permanently stuck in my mind as one of the most inspiring and memorable nights of my life. I just wanted to point out the long term effects of something so very short term. I hope you all can stop and take in the emotions that come with these things we call music and songwriting.

Some Labor Day Golf

I came back to visit Michigan for Labor Day weekend, and of course had to get some golf in.  Pat and I have been playing golf together for years, along with many of our close friends.  The players, Pat and I, Mike Thomas, and Scott Wagner, arrived early on this cool morning that felt like the first day of fall.  The match would be MT and I vs. PK and SW.  The stakes were a pizza at Starting Gate.  We were pretty even through 9 and spirits were high on both teams.  Pat was in an exceptionally good mood, as you can see in this pic, but little did he know that MT and I would go on something like an 8 hole winning streak to come away with a clear victory.  There would be no 17th hole birdie by SW to clinch it, no PK 40ft put to put the win out of reach.  To be fair, I'm pretty sure whoever was on MT's team would have won it...  And just in case you were wondering, the pizza was delicious.

I'm so glad I got to meet up with so many friends on my visit back, it was really hard to leave.  We've got a lot of exciting things coming up, check back soon for some big news!
