Less Work, More Play

Just read Steven King’s book “On Writing” (great book for writers) which comes at a good time because lately I’ve been a bit blocked. We all have our input phases and our output phases. When you’re doing too much of one, chances are the other suffers. In an interview I once read John Hiatt said he doesn’t get paid for the two hours he’s on stage, it’s the other 22 he lives. I guess you have to live to write if you want to write to live.

So, here comes 2010! It’s shaping up to be a great year for "input". I’m gonna get some things off of my bucket list: Peru in January (see the Inca ruins), Memphis in February (Folk Alliance), Israel, Jordan and Egypt in March (long overdue trip with my sister), Quebec in May (gig in Montreal), and Las Vegas in June (World Series of Poker). If I can find a Fringe venue for my play “Dragonfly” that will round out the first half of 2010. A little less work and a little more play and maybe that might loosen the log jam : )

Hmmm...interesting title! Are you going to tell us what your play is about, or just surprise everyone? lol

Besides having well-crafted and intelligent lyrics, the songs are melodic, memorable and haunting in their sounds.

Solid singer-songwriter fare from one of music’s craftsmen. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, familiar even, seldom brash or edgy, plenty going on and a few wow moments that make your heart stop in wonder. – Maverick Magazine (UK)
