available decision ended freedom goal handle music needed
I ended my mail-order business, and I made that decision with regret, because my whole goal is to make my music available to people, not the opposite. But I couldn't handle it. I couldn't get the freedom I needed as an independent artist.
felt freedom jazz maybe natural recognized spirit work
Maybe a part of me recognized how right the improvising spirit of jazz is. Not the sounds, but the freedom to work with musicians who work that way. It felt very natural to me, but I think there's a way to do it without it being a jazz record.

My traditional records are just chosen from my longtime favorite songs. But I have lots of music left in me; I'm just waiting for it to arrive.

For to do things with care is the closest thing to love that I know the cape of grace falling softly about the shoulders as we focus on the task at hand whether it be to listen or to leave or to learn.
alive ask brings einstein fighting force great leveling life mean perhaps seem takes unnatural
I always seem to find myself fighting the law of equilibrium - the great leveling force that brings things to the mean and takes the 'cartoonishness' out of life. Perhaps I am doing a very unnatural thing... If Einstein were still alive I would ask him about it.
available benefit both eighth experience fortune good large limelight recording released second seventh small steam traffic
I have had the good fortune to experience both the limelight and the traffic light as a musician. I did my first recording on my own and it was available at concerts. The second to seventh were released on small and then large labels. My eighth to 14th were done under my own steam once again, but with the benefit of the Internet.
although dropping highly taxi
Everything I write is highly personal, but put in such a way that it's not dropping everything in someone's lap. Although sometimes I think 'The Taxi Ride' embarrasses me, because sometimes I think it's too close.
law somewhere-else would-be
I am a musician. I didn't know I would be so when I was young. I do know that I have always heard music in my head that I wasn't hearing somewhere else and I 'needed' this music. And obedient to the laws of nature, I created into this vacuum.

it takes forever if you go by inertia...
years goal trying
So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals, and I've had one for 10 years now, where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.
fall sadness night
Though the night seems long, you're tears won't fall forever.
understanding sides study
I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.

I'd like to see the Second Coming in every one of us. That we all be Jesus. That we all embody that consciousness.
