"I have been asked a few times now, "What is Zen Philosophy...""It’s a long subject but ZEN is kinda like being in a peaceful/awakened to life, death and the world around you state-of-mind. There is a philosophy that can be studied to fully understand ZEN. There are these riddles called "Koans" that try to awaken the mind to abstract thinking...EG: What is the sound of one hand clapping, and when a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it...etc....If you look in the Philosophy section of any book store you can find books on ZEN like "Zen in the Art of Archery". That one is pretty good............"
UPDATE... "I am still recording new demos but because the songs are for major labels, I cannot post them. I am only posting songs that I released on my own here. I might post some special songs here occasionaly. I browse around here for new music and to email some outta town friends but I also log in to talk to NEW people a lot, so feel free to drop me a line :) ........"
MOTTO: "Talk to a stranger and be nice to a stranger, everyday.......... :)"(P.S. Don’t forget to click on the video link under the default pic on this page, I currently have 44 of my favorite vids there...)
