Approaching 4 years…
In the next few months this blog will be 4 years old. It started slow at first and I gave up for a little while, but I always seemed to keep from deleting it. I’ve written about a whole variety of things over the past few years so I figured I’d browse through the archives tonight and pull out a few of my favorite posts that hopefully some of the long time readers will remember and give some of the newer folks some history. Enjoy.

[The Classics] – Moving past a small minded thought – The Fall of 1995 saw me heading to college with nothing but ambition and a whole bunch of baggage from small-town Texas. And by baggage, I don’t mean luggage…

I never knew you, Townes – Townes Van Zandt. A name that is ingrained in most musicians minds as a genius, but a name that was given to a man that died pennyless and vastly unknown to the general music fan.

OK, I’ll listen… maybe… – We’ve all been stuck in a rut at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a job, our diet, exercise, our hair, our clothes, or music we listen to.
So there you go. By no means everything but its cool to see the growth and reminders of why I started this blog in the first place.
