perspective... balance... moderation... motivation... purpose... gratitude... ego... vulnerability... fear of success... universal connections... intuition... expectations... committment... LOVE.
a good hibernation can lead to one eye slowing lifting upward. and what one eye does, the other usually follows... and so my arms rise gently above my head, lengthening my spine, separating my ribs, to make way for the glorious space within, which is equal in importance to the space without....
my path may be a challenging upward hill, but i'd be bored if it wasn't and my boots are great for climbin'...
with that... i hope you'll join some wonderful people that i'm blessed to make music with as we offer up our hearts and souls for the space within us, which extends and connects to the space within you...
without love and gratitude, what can we really claim?

I was approached by one of the 3 producers of the felt show(A local talent competiton,after playing a one hour set at Henr's Upstairs Bar, And then by the other 2 at a 2 hour set at Teapouro's Tea & expressos, They all want me to be a part of it, which Will mean I will play a small set at the Granada, could win some $$$$ and will probably be on Lawrence's Local 6 news. The interveiwing by the news crew will be done either this saturday during the rehersal at the KU student union hall.
If anyone wants to come to the granada at 8pm,on the 25th, I think it is 18and over,but I will ask Jeff.Paul or Em, for more details,oh and its a $6 cover,I think there are seven other acts at least
