About Me

Current River Junction is back! We have a new server, and looking to get things going again. We really need your help so stop by and join.

Figured it was time to change things up a bit. I could on and on about my history, but to be quite honest, sometimes that can be a bit confusing. Only in that my history is chuck full of bad stuff, with a few accents here and there of little good things. Or good little things? You get my point...

In spite of myself, I still create music. At one point I decided this was it, the "big deal" that which I do would define me. How wrong I was. I have tried many things in my little sojourn of life, and most have not exactly been the best choices. (To put it mildly) Still in all I am Rex, I love my life, even with all the regrets toting about like my grandmother's old set of Samsonite luggage...

My music, well it's not as good as some, and less better than others, but it's me, and it's honest. I really can't write about stuff I don't know or understand. Of all the phrases, melodies, and unwritten tunes clanging about in my head, the stuff I choose to publish, is what I feel to be me or my interpretation of life. Nothing more nothing less. Pieces Of Time has been a hallmark in the past few years. I still don't feel like I have completed it to my liking, but have resigned to the fact that for now I have taken it as far as I can. Besides, I can sit for hours (which I have literally) and try to slap together a great CD with all my efforts and sacrifice falling short to what I know I do best, perform. My music is merely standard when listening to it via MP3, but I feel like I shine when I perform. Maybe it's the crowd, maybe it's the tension of playing, I don't really know, but I do know that when I do get to play it, there is audible click as the universe and everything in it seem to align and favor me.

I have many people I am blessed to have in my life. Chris, she inspires me to keep that door open which allows the music to flow. My friends like Darrin Stevens, somehow I got that dude thinking I am some sort of songwriter. Krusher and Tony of the Music Scene, now there are two cats who should never be able to appreciate my music, but somehow they manage it. Glad I can call them friends.I just keep missing their damn show grrrrr!

The biggest trip of all for me, is my Holy Grail, my fan mailing list which in the last 2 years has grown to over 200! I guess that most consider that small by their standards, but still I am eternally grateful for those who have taken their hard earned money and supported my music and buying the CD. I never fail to feel humble when I am reminded of just how lucky and blessed I am to have all this. It may not be absolute fame or fortune, but hey! I wouldn't want to cheapen it like that anyway. Who wants fame? I say fans because that is the best way to describe them, but to me I eagerly call them friends. Thanks to everyone for your support and helping me continue what I enjoy doing.
