Mark it 8, dude...

Howdy, howdy, hello everybody. Welcome to my little corner of 'ye olde Internet. My goal is to use this space to document trials, tribulations, successes, disappointments, oddities and weird occurrences in my life. If you can't do that on a blog, where can you? I suspect this will all be much more therapeutic for me than interesting for you, but I hope you find at least some small nuggets of humor and/or personal enjoyment herein.

Currently I'm a full-time gigging guitar player. I have wanted to do this my whole life. Sure, there was a time I wanted to be an X-Wing pilot, an astronaut, and then a Naval aviator, but that time passed...just kidding. I'd still really dig being an X-Wing pilot but what are you gonna do? In all seriousness, being able to play guitar for a living has always been my dream, and I'm living it. It has its' challenges just like everything else, make no mistake about that. But I take comfort and no small amount of satisfaction in going to bed at night knowing that I have accomplished a life-long goal. No matter what happens from here on out, I will be able to say I did it. And that means a lot to me.

Ok, anybody tearing up yet? Kleenex anyone? Didn't think so...moving on...

Currently I work for Cody Jinks, an artist from Fort Worth, Texas. We travel around Texas playing solid old school country and honky tonk music. I joined this circus roundabout March of this year and have enjoyed every minute of it so far.  Check Cody out at www.codysroadies.com to listen to some music and find our calendar to see where we'll be and when.

Stay tuned for more shenanigans and who knows what else comin' at 'ya in the near future. Thanks for hangin' with me...
