One of the coolest things that ever happened to me was when I was having a meeting with a fellow songwriter friend of mine at a local Starbucks. Just as we were discussing being inspired by great songwriters of the past, the one and only Brian Wilson came strolling up to order his favorite (insert any Starbucks drink here). It took all the strength I had to hold myself back from running up to him and picking his brain. I knew right then I had officially arrived in L.A.!
Making a record is an audacious event. It signifies to the general public that I have made an audible statement, and it's worth your while to listen to it. I am well aware of the heaviness of such a process and fully intend to undertake every one of its motions, be it good or bad. From the moment the red laser inscribes my thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, experiences, and observations onto every circular plastic disc, there's no turning back. I'm embarking upon a journey and inviting you to join me.
I'd like to think you count on the likes of me and my contemporaries to provide an hour of escape and comfort every time you play it through. Hopefully, I have delivered that to you, express, through your headphones and speakers.
So as you ruminate over the last couple of paragraphs, please enjoy what I have spent much time, effort, money, sleeplessness, blood, sweat, tears, energy, passion and love on--my music, which is now your music too.
