These are exciting times for me.
With the help of a record label, I am seeing many of my dreams and ambitions come to fruition.
Still, a man's gotta work, so for the past 6 years or so, I'm a commercial truck driver, driving over the road (OTR) for about 5 years, and now working for a foodservice company going mostly to Vegas.
This gives me more time to be home with my family and music projects.
I enjoy the open road, seeing beautiful scenery and listening to my favorite music and programs on my satellite radio.
My job, with it's physical demands, and my love for all natural foods keep me in great shape and feeling good.

I'm just miserable getting up at 2 am every day so I'm quitting to commit full time to my family and music, as well as a new concept of combining my love for singing and songwriting with my wife's love for nutrition and health.
I've prayed about all this and it's helpful to feel God's support.
So now it's time to get to work finding opportunities to publicly appear.
Also hoping to get some kind of a radio or audio broadcast of our nutrition and music show.
Love to all!

It helps to think of it that way, 'cuz it puts things in perspective.
It helps me remember the real burdens I carried in the past, which make this look miniscule.
Anyway, I've been angry at myself for not letting my record company produce my last CD.
You see, when I signed with them, I had just recorded a CD in my new home studio which I was very proud of, since I played all the instruments, and arranged the music and used what I thought at the time was great equipment.
When I submitted a few songs for consideration to the label, and they liked i...

Pro Tools, Cedar Breaks, and Healthy Food!: G'day all,
Yesterday, I spent a few hrs in Spiral Studios in St George learning the basic functions of Pro Tools Recording software. Steve Lemmon is a real expert and a great teacher. I really admire him for what he does there: studio musician, engineer, songwriter, and singer, plus touring musician. I aspire to do what he does.
Afterward, I went with Darrin of Mishap Studios to Cedar Breaks, that beautiful spot up in the mountains. He's installed their A/V kiosk at the visitor center and needed to fix some stuff. I hiked around and checked out the campground which is really nice.
Darrin said he's working on a pilot for the Food Network which got me thinking about ideas for gettin...
