About Me

background-image:url(http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/ chpromotions/bronze.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment:fixed;
I am currently finishing off my CD and hope to be done fairly soon. 2007 was to say the least been a turbulent year full of surprises that have resulted in my album being seriously behind schedule. For those of you who have pre ordered it DON”T WORRY! I haven’t forgotten about you at all and I’ll make sure you get a little something extra:) I have decided, though, to stop taking pre orders. I’ll put up a link again when I’ve actually got the damn thing in my hands. In the mean time thanks for stopping by and listening to the demos:)

A BIO BEDTIME STORY
Once upon a time ...
(in a reality far far away ...)
there lived a boy named Gaven (well, man maybe, when does one actually become a man? When life tears the fun out of you or when you spend more time paying bills than playing? And why does it really matter can I act childish and still be a mature adult? Why are we always the least happy with the age were at?)
Gaven lived in a magical kingdom (Vancouver Island Canada) and everything was nice. The air was clean (for today's standards), the animals were happy, the villagers were happy (except the ones on the highway during rush hour) and the weather was just right. Everyone was happy except Gaven because Gaven was too hard on himself (there's a moral in here somewhere so read carefully).
Everybody seemed to like the things he did but he would only see the flaws and make sure he pointed them out to everybody. Gaven was a sweet lad and never really did anything to hurt anybody (amazingly this didn't actually get him beat up very much) and most people seemed to like him (except I guess people who generally beat people like that up) but Gaven was shy and mostly kept to himself. He never like being the center of attention and often did things to help others get the spotlight. He recorded music for other people and played in (the maiden) Carmen Hillary's Band. Together they played gigs and slayed bar managers (no really, sometimes it comes down to that).
Then one day he got sick of it (I'm not a smart man but I know what love is! I am a human being! etc...) So he struck down the dragon of self doubt and shouted for all to hear.
Im going to record my album! Nothing (except laziness and apathy) is going to stop me! And the people said OK then, you do that.
And they all lived happily ever after.
THE END...
Well, maybe not the end because I'm still working on it.. I'm hoping to have my album finished in December, so in the mean time I have put up a few demo versions of what have been working on.
