NAMM 2008 started today and I’m pleased to say it’s big and fun. I stopped by the Samick booth to pose in front my own picture. Kind of weird and nice at the same time. Samick endorses me. I’ve been playing a Royale nonstop for over 3 years and I love it!
Lest my head get any bigger, Les Paul has a huge picture at the Gibson booth. He invented the electric guitar and plays a gig every week in New York at the age of 91. That’s a guy who deserves a picture on the wall.
I’m going to try to go back again on Sunday and find out the latest scoop on Digidesign and ProTools and Logic 8.

It’s a whole new Wednesday’s Song. No more song/week. Now it’s one song per month. The songs were recorded fast and furious. Next round will be more produced. I’ve got quite a few ideas started but not polished. I was feeling guilty leaving my “children” orphaned. I’m stoked to present the first one “Give Me Love”. This video was directed by my talented friend W. Scott Prestwood.
Give Me Love
The cold wind bites into my skin
In every place that you’ve been
I’m building a mountain out of my mistakes
I’m running on credit for whatever it takes
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me dreams to soothe my soul
Give me love
A headlight trance and I’m in the way
Still I taste the words you say
I’m caught in the fire for the very last time
I turning away from the things I’ve left behind
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me dreams to soothe my soul
Give me love
Love goes round and round and round
While the earth keeps spinning round
I wouldn’t trade my heart
For a place to start
For a tiny part of you
Give me love

I’ve been enjoying going over the first songs, mixing little tidbits and remastering, It’s to prep them for a real CD. It’s been a blast cranking them out so fast. On the permanent CD I’ve been wanting to fix the little earsores. And why not?

I haven’t been to work as early as my new year’s goal yet….but, I’m trying to get there. Early to bed is the hard part.
Still thinking about the direction to take for the next songs. The first 13 were really featuring the Samick Royale guitar and bass. I want to show them my appreciation for endorsing me. The arrangements are stripped down, mostly to a single guitar track bass and drums. Next up who knows. I want to add more to the tracks, though that takes time.
I’m invited to a sweat lodge tomorrow. I’m mostly worried about having a heart attack and croaking from the heat. Oh. The Secret. I’m grateful for my abundant life and the spritual journeys 2 hours of blistering heat will take me on.
