14. I Want You

June 17th, 2009

Woah! Where did May go? It is of no surprise that it went by so fast, there are a number of projects I got involved in and now that May is over – it seems that some of the projects are coming to a close as well. So – lets review.

Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs, officially released their 5 Song EP. It is a super rare, limited edition CD that you must get your hands on. In addition to creating the album artwork, I recently revamped the website (www.scarycherry.com) as well to reflect the EP release. Support local artist buy spreading the word and attending local shows – something I need to do more myself.

13. Thank God I’m A Country Boy

April 29th, 2009

Well I got me a fine wife – I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I’m a country boy

Officially I am sick of the Rain – Normally it wouldn’t bother me. In fact – I used to look forward to the days of Rain. But that was before – Before I left the city and the concrete to start over in the country. I used to love the movie Son In Law – the best part was when the Weasel is riding around on the tractor singing without a care in the world – at the time, and up until a few years ago – the country – the farm life was not for me. So here we are in Spring – bluebonnets, bees, green grass and rain that turns the wonderful clay and soil of Texas into a mudpit from Hell. My car never was ‘clean’ – and now – I fear it will never return to another color but dirty shades of brown.

But then there are they days when the sun comes out and I am not needing to tend to the grounds, but have fun with my family and dog. Most people take pictures of their children in the bluebonnets – while I was taking some shots for my wife to paint – I took the opportunity to get some shots of the land that surrounds me. There is something about the quiet, the blue skies and everything else that really gets the creative outlet flowing. So in the attempt to escape the indoors and to get a breath of fresh air – get lost in one of the above pictures.

12. Interlude

Yesterday – a question was posted VIA GuideLive’s twitter feed – I did a retweet and even blogged about it myself. Today there is some reflection and reaction posted on Erika Nuñez’s blog over at GuideLive. More or less an update and a heads up. Check her thoughts out along with some interesting reactions, including mine and be sure to comment!
