I'll be ninety-two tomorrow.

About Me

Hey guys! I'm gone for the summer, so I won't be playing anywhere until the end of August (hopefully I can squeeze something in before school starts up again!). Anyway, check my facebook for my summer address if you feel like sending me mail
good morning, sunshine.
"Enjoy learning to play music-- it's something you can have fun with the rest of your life."
My uncle told me that when I started playing guitar. He also taught me that they call it "play" for a reason. Music is a way for me to escape. I love it.

I write songs Jesus cause he's someone worth writing about.

Songwriting is something that has to come out when it's ready. It can't be faked or forced, or it loses meaning.
Someday, I'll write you a song :)
I want to love you out loud.
"If music is the art of thinking, then let your thoughts be heard.
So fear less, hope more, complain less, praise more,
talk less but say more, judge less and accept more.
Love is the answer of our war. Love and be loved! Stay rooted..."

My Blog

I am SUCH an idiot.

so as most of you can tell, I posted flyers for my next show on pretty much every one of my friend's pages, only to discover (even worse, have it pointed out to me!) that I didn't put a date on it.&nb...
