| 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 Quote of the Post: " There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself: the tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one.
