Ya’ll, seriously give it for the real talents of Christian Robinson on the kit, as he listens to the song, for the 1st time ever, deftly picks it up and then comes in like a boss at the time of his choosing!

Thanks for playing with me, brother!

Is this the greatest opening line of any rock song?

IMHO, maybe the greatest opening line of any rock song is from Counting Crows' classic Round Here. At my last show, I had time for one more song so decided in the moment to give it a try. Never played it live before but it felt great and so glad I did.

What do you think, should I record a studio version for the upcoming album?

To see the full song performance video, check it out the link below to the full clip on YT.

"I wear black for those who never read or listen to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness, through love and charity."
What do you think about these quotes from the man in black?

If you're struggling, get real quiet and still for a while.

A little weekend fun with this Chappell song. Such a well written song and I love how it flows.

Gratitude can fix a lot of thought errors.
No matter what you're going through, finding one small believable thought that points your heart towards gratitude can make all the difference. Keep going! You're one thought away from making a major difference in your life.

"I've Been Thinking" is a new song I've been working on for the past year. The idea came from seeing so much mental illness creeping in to the fabric of society, and how social media is playing a big role in propagating feelings of insecurity and hopelessness, especially among young men. In a casual bar meeting with a friend of mine, he admitted he wasn't okay and that he nearly decided to shot himself in the head several weeks before.

If this song resonates with you, please give it a like. Also would love to hear your thoughts below on what it means to you.

Hey gang, hope your week is off to a good start. Never forget that if you're braving the storms, you're in the game and living life to its fullest. Nothing of value is ever gained without struggles.

So please let me know below what's going on with you this week (both amazing and troubling). Would love to hear about what's happening in your lives.

Here's a full live version of my song The Captain performed along with the great and mighty Christian Robinson on the drums.

This was the first time I've played it live with a drummer and was so amazed to hear how it came to life with his amazing talents.
Thanks so much my friend!

Hope to have a full version of this up on Spotify soon.

If you're not okay right now about your life, politics, money, relationships, etc., write down exactly what it is that you're worried about. My prediction is that you'll look back on these specific anxieties and realize it was just a media driven mania that most people are experiencing. Unplugging for a while wouldn't hurt either.

Getting around to recording this one called Just Another Day in the studio.
Does it remind you of anything? Looking for production ideas on how best to present it. Thanks!
