I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I write music. I live music. I'm addicted to moments of musical inspiration. I write mostly Rock, some Jazz-Fusion too. Whatever comes to mind I write it. I'll listen to anything if it's good. I love playing Latin/Brazilian music on my acoustic. I'm also learning Japanese.
Cooking is my other addiction. I love being able to create in the kitchen and trying out recipes. Food, like my music needs to be exciting! It should move the heart and soul. That's what I strive for. From Asian to Italian, from down home to gourmet, from 60 minute full coarse meals to time consuming Crème Brulees, I love it all.
While I live in Chicago, Anaheim, CA has started to become my second home. I know way more So Cal friends than I should, so I come out to visit every two months or so. I always bring my guitar, because I'm always writing and I have started to play at some of the coffee houses out there. want to hear my music? Go over to: www.RobShelby.com
I'm also getting more and more into photography. If your willing to be photographed for a project let me know. Before you ask I'm NOT LOOKING for nude models!
Love & Peace!

Unfinnished

Bits and parts of songs are piling up with no resolution. Some music, all the music, some words, a line, a phrase. Completion is what I need. No,...I need to be quiet and listen to the words. I've b...

Moving On

When the night gets dark I walk down the road stopping under different street lights. Some burn bright, some dim. Some have children playing under them, some a lone musician playing the blues. Some...

This is me:

I like my life the way it is now. I know everyone else has mixed feelings. I know everyone else wishes I'd change some parts. Thing is, no one changed themselves for me. No one cared about how I felt...
