Being a typical Scorpio…..I have a scorched earth policy with people. Cut off emotionally, destroy any and all reminders and write music to process the pain, the loss. This is fine and well, but what completed any cycle with regards to healing is the reclamation part. When I got divorced, I spent a lot of […]

What happened to the good old days of posting fun photos? Before I deleted Twitter there were some photos of a friend…lighting a smoke between his toes! My sister called me demanding to know what’s going on! Haha. I deleted a pic of a friend who was posing with everyone. Dude had great ink and […]

I feel so aligned, in tune, happy and loved. Making music with one of my favorite humans at home has everything to do with it! My family, the sun, nature and revelling in the process of making music has been so enjoyable. Even if we don’t have all the resources. We have what we need. […]
