Melody the Journal
 Hey Friends,
   I was taking a listen to my old recordings from my ever inspiring trip to Australia,
and was overwhelmed with flash backs, not just of sights and surroundings, but of
the emotions that I was feeling.  The actual time and place of writing some of them
has escaped me, but the overall ideals and perspectives that I was practicing are
fully evident.  Regardless of where this music experiment takes me, I am thrilled that
I'll always be able to do it for me, to excite myself with what I can create.  I'll always
have lyrics and the accompanying music to explain to my future self the who, what,
when, where, and why's of my life.  A melodic journal where I can hear all of the
inflections and emotions in my voice and strumming.  Hmmm, it almost seems
unfair that musicians are the only people that can experience this.  My suggestions:
1. take up music  2. record yourself at least in a written journal, but to gain a greater
insight, record your voice. hear yourself.
      That being said, I'm getting extremely excited about the newest entry in my
musical life; The Color Deaf ep.  Though 4 of these songs are from my earliest batch
of writing, the retooling of them has renewed my interest and has brought a new
feeling to each of them.  The other 2 were chosen as a means to stretch my sound,
and to go beyond my comfort zone.  But, this cd is one that I can't wait for all of you to
hear as well, especially for those who have been listening since I first picked up the
guitar.  Goodness, I think back to the first few times I played in front of friends, who's
reactions moved me right on along to this point.  Thank You.
Peace Always,
Adam

                              the chrysalis into the butterfly,
                              a damaged human being into a whole one.
                      That is spirituality."
