Gremlin, Cheerleader, Soldier

"Wear the percussion!" was the rushed self-timed photo 'motivation' here.

I've been back in the studio with Joe this week, after a few weeks of home recording and a quick visit to the west coast.
A few days ago there was a serious out of body experience meltdown, which had me - again, but way more serious this time - about to cancel recording. I became some other thing - I became my scariest most meanest gremlin, and/or a muscular and well-armed self-sabatuer. But then I mustered my Cheerleader and my Soldier (fairly new friends) and somehow got myself in the car, and to the studio. Do you follow kids?
Anyway, it worked - I'm still here.
The thing I'll remember from these few days is that when I'm doing this music stuff is when I feel most like a happy, playful kid, and thats a great reason to keep showing up.


Cool snapshot of the week: Riding my bike slowly down the midldle of Music Row in the afternoon. A running race was on, so blocked off streets, and no cars. A thunderstorm was on the way, and it was so quiet it felt like I might be the only thing moving in the whole city.
