I am so freaked out about singing on stage for this play. I obviously can hold my own in the singing department, but that’s with songs i’ve written myself or while playing guitar. And, the song i’ll be performing won’t be either of those, although there’s a very slight chance i might get to accompany myself on a lute. So, just me, singing, out on a stage, in front of somewhere between 100 and 450 people. I’ll keep you updated (with audio, even).

trio is finally up, and it’s an odd one. “Disguise It” and “More Than That” are two songs that originated on this very page (here and here), and since then they’ve been on the back burner for quite a while. “Lost” is a long lost song originally mentioned nearly two months ago when i couldn’t get it re-recorded correctly. “Lost” is an interesting case because i wrote it a whole step under standard tuning, but i never tune down to there so i’m forced to sing a whole step up (not the most comfortable place for me). These three are very much a representation of what Trio was initially meant to be, so i hope you can enjoy them not matter how rough their edges might be.

I happen to be locked in the Drexel Recording Studio waiting for a fellow classmate to show up so i can get to work. Yes, i’m locked in a recording studio yet the most productive thing i can find to do is blog. I know, it is ironic.

we sit back in our easy chairs
and we try to sympathize
whether from the point of a needle or
the edge of our beds
we too, like too many others,
could be dead
our actions
will define us
before a single definition can be said
yeah, so what if god is testing us
what if that’s true
what are you going to do
what is the answer
to you

Apparently some people were in a mad panic yesterday while i was taking my typical monday off from blogger because my last sunday post sounded like some sort of farewell. Of course, it was a farewell: it was a farewell to a blog-filled weekend. Meanwhile, while these people were aghast that i took a weekend off, none of them listened to this week’s trio. I realize not every week is as good as the the first one or the debut of “relief”, but come on – it’s my weekly feature, damnit. I don’t mind that people ignore the rest of my website, but at least you could humor me and listen to my bumbling around on guitar once a week.
