Every THING Every DAY

What are you doing with Every THING, Every DAY? I cannot imagine having nothing at all, and so I put everything to use by maintaining inspiration. It's a little way to say thank you and be grateful for Every THING, Every DAY that surrounds my life. You should try it!

Once We Hit The Top

What can you say about your everyday thoughts? Do they keep you high or low; on your heels or toes? It's interesting, indeed, to figure that we think of a trillion things from sunrise to sun-down, yet we can only recall a few of the thoughts that were thunk. No, this is no poem nor riddle. But it is, though, a piece of inspiration from the movie of the year, "Inception." What a work of art. To think that it took that director ten years to write the entire script in full just blows my mind. What is even more appealing is the fact that that same director, directed "Dark Knight," the oh so famous Batman movie. I'd like to know what he was thinking in the process of creating... Greatness.

Okay, yes, again I'm in the back of a car. This time, I'm actually typing. I made the smart decision to take along my Mac just in case boredom becomes my best friend. No, I'm not bored. Just easily inspired. Funny the way that works. Inspiration can come from anywhere. In fact, just today, I was told that I am pissing some folks off by tagging them to notes, post, and videos on Facebook. All I could say was that I was sincerely sorry for "wasting" this person time, space, and energy. Between me and the reader, I think he was being a douche bag just in the more polite way. No curse words at all, but he did say I was pissing him off. All he simply had to do was delete me as a friend and I would've gotten the message. After all, we are only friends in the virtual world. By the way, this person is a "famous" musician in California who tours with Jason Mraz and a few other big names. I wonder if he even watched the video I posted onto his wall. I think he did and got jealous...

Anyway, my band and I are doing swell things on the east coast. We have made a local bar our home now and it feels nice to be developing an even bigger fan base from our own community. The Red Lion Pub in Winter Park has truly given us a great opportunity to play for new faces, and guess what? It's FREE. We've been getting tipped, and tipped well and it's nice to see that they're are still supporters in the elderly community. For awhile, it seemed as if the youth had been frowned upon because it seems that the etiquette is deteriorating generation by generation. I personally would like to thank the grandificent folks from The Red Lion Pub. High fives, hugs, kisses, and hip bumps to you all....

I've always been a writer, no matter how much it is. I like writing simple things or things that deserve a huge explanation. On all of my social networks, I like to update my friends on what I'm doing. Twitter has me balanced and limited because of its 140 word limit. So I keep it short and sweet. How's this?



You can't beat the simple man because a simple man is simply the best. Believe that. And simply, here are our official show listings for the month of August:

WE ARE PLAYING A FREE SHOW EVERY TUESDAY AT THE RED LION PUB!

August 11th @ 57 West, Downtown Orlando, FL (pending)




August 20th @ Little Fish Huge Pond, Sanford, FL (FREE)

August 25th @ The Social, Downtown Orlando, FL



More info for these show listings coming soon!


The opportunities keep coming and thats how we like it. Our last show at The Red Lion Pub, a talent agent was in the crowd and was blown away. He is now so intrigued by us that he's coming back next tuesday and bringing more folks. It was nice to see that he also took video footage on his phone. I think what struck him the most was the fact that we are all only 19. I turn 20 on September 18th and I now know what I want for my birthday. Other than a girlfriend, I want this talent agent to work some magic and make the music scene a full time job for me and my band so that we may all earn our own living. I think that's pretty good for a wish list. I can also pray about it and ask the good Lord to take us to the top of every highest mountain and let our music be heard across the world. It's safe to say that there's no stopping us, ONCE WE HIT THE TOP...

What's Your Flavor?

Sitting in the back of my good friend's Jeep on the way to the beach, I noticed that there were hundreds of different songs that he had been skipping through from his playlist. Genre after genre, it occurred to me that the way to categorize a song nowadays is simple. Think of flavors. Flavors are of color and taste, right? Music is identical, where as the color is the crowd that the music appeals to. The taste is, indeed, the way the tunes make the audience feel. Could be dar, inspired, high, or happy. Whatever it may be, know that music has flavor...



I would say that my flavor is rather eclectic, seeing that I like all types of music. There is no exact genre for the music that I sing and that my band plays alongside me. Last I heard, someone called it, "Island Funk/Acoustic/Soul." I guess that works. Nothing wrong with a handful of flavors. As long as there is enough to satisfy everyone who listens; the fans!

Speaking of the wonderful fans of me and my band; we would, now, like to update you on some new shows coming up in August!

August 7th at The Central Station from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. ALL AGES WELCOME

August 20th at Little Fish Huge Pond from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. 18+ Welcome

August 25 at The Social from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. 18+ Welcome

We will have pre-sale tickets available for all of the shows listed above! More info coming soon!

Nothing like writing in a hot car. I'm sweating and can't wait to get to the water and surf it up. 'Til next time, WHAT'S YOUR FLAVOR?

Be Grateful For Your Mother

It's been 6 whole years since the only angel in my life passed on and into heaven. I'm sure she's with the best of the best, high-fiving folks in the likes of Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks. Praying, I hope she can work some magic with Luther Vandross and have him send his record company my way. But seriously, I miss you Mom, so much. I am taken and grateful for your love. It is not every day that I think of you. No. It is every moment of the day. Thank you for being the best guardian angel an earthly human son could have...

Last night, I set out to compose a video in honor of my Mother. Before I get too heavy, I will have you, the reader, to know that I won't write too long this time. I don't want to be the barrier of tears and sad thoughts. Anywhom; the video, for me, kills two birds with one stone in that it honors her and promotes for the ROCK THE MARROW campaign/show that we (my band and I) are playing on July 17th...




What are you doing to help the cancer society? You have no clue. Well, on the 17th of this month, bring your most giving friends and family members to Calvary Assembly in Winter Park, Florida, to help me, my band, and many other artist, Rock The Marrow. Give blood. Donate your time and a few dollars to this amazing leukemia organization. You will be blessed with great music in return...

To touch more on the only women in my life; Mom I love you and I honestly thought that I wouldn't be able to survive without your love. But I'm still alive, and with ever chance I get, I never hesitate to feel your touch. Thank you for being you and having the strength to raise a crazy kid like me. Look at me now. Do I make you proud? Am I doing all that you wish? I live for you. I love for you. With all that I am accomplishing, I have not forgotten your wants for grandchildren. I promise to bring a nice girl home soon, and not just to have her pet the dog, but to marry her. If you could only see what I'm doing while physically holding my hand...




Dave is doing well. He misses you dearly. I am so grateful for him and thank you, Mom, for marrying the most amazing Father in the world. One day, this music thing will make me lots of money and I'll take care of Dave, no problem. Until then, I live for your inspiration and I will not let the music stop...

I visited you for the first time today. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I cried. My tears hit the soil around you. Maybe my tears will help beautiful violets grow. After all, they were your favorite. Rest in peace Mom. Life on earth ends, but love is endless everywhere the spirit goes. I'll see you in heaven. Tell God I said I'm going to change the world...




Friends, BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR MOTHER...
