Hey guys and gals!

Just wanted to give you the update that the recording has started. Yesterday we did the scratch tracks for the vocals and guitar for seven unrecorded songs. I spent my morning this morning editing the tracks to get the arrangement roughed in. So next up I’ll be posting them out for the other guys to start working on recording their parts.

Are you excited? Because I am!

So we have a small dilemma for this record… we are trying to come up with a good band name for the guys. Do you have any suggestions? Jeremy Johnson and the ???  I’m thinking about making it into a little contest to see what cool names you can come up with. I’ll keep you posted.

So I got invited to come and do a show at a new Hookah Bar that is opening up in Radford.
It’s called Royal Shesha. It should be a lot of fun.

The gig is on March 25th, 2010
It’ll start at 8pm and go until about 10pm

Hope to see you there!

I’m gonna get to do an on-air interview and live music session at 90.7 WUVT in Blacksburg on March 24th.

The show is called “The Local Zone”
I’m pumped that they are going to let me play live on their station.
If you want to listen and you are not in Blacksburg, then you can go to 90.7 WUVT website and get the streaming broadcast.

I start at around 8pm.. I think.

It’s hard to believe I have been doing the music and art thing for two months now. It is a bizarre combination of feeling very privileged to be able to try this as well as feeling extremely anxious about how it’s all going to turn out. I had grown so used to having a job where the paychecks came at like the tide at methodical intervals to being overtly disturbed when thinking about how in the world I am going to pay my bills in the coming months.

There is one side of the coin that wants to embrace the panic like a dear child and try to predict how and where everything is going to come from, run myself in vicious circles that dig my early grave, and hope and pray that fame and fortune will hit me like a freight train without the messy after-effect of that impact in the ordinary world.

But then there is another side to the coin. There is a side of me that calls me to live in expectation and hope. I have entrusted my life into the hands of Another, One much greater than anyone on the face of the earth. And this One asks me to simply trust and set my hands deliberately to the tasks in front of me instead of trying to plan my entire life in the course of a day. This is the hardest part of all sometimes: letting go of our desire to be god in our own destiny.

There is rest and peace in the promises that there is Someone greater than ourselves to look out for our best interests. What do you think?
