RIP LeRoi Moore 1961-August 2008

Saxophonist LeRoi Moore played an integral role in the renown music of The Dave Matthews Band. LeRoi passed away at age 46 earlier this week due to complications stemming from a June 2008 ATV Crash that happened at his home in Virginia just two days after I watched him perform his last show with the band. We have lost another great talent.

Hold Fast lyrics

I walked outside scrunching my face
I love when the drums and the bass encompass the space
It's in the kitchen children come get a taste...wanted to race...
but I started running in place
It sounded so fresh...no catch...when they throw down
a profound offering...oxygen hits
turned loose, got caught in the mix
you can call it a trip. I'll probably flip if they call it legit..listen...
Play me something vicious...play me something mean
that comes between one-hundred dream to touch the unforeseen
This is absurdly the dirtiest version of coming clean...
There is no running water, composure becomes disorder
This sort of animal that makes me go in panic mode....
I'm standing thrown in the midst of the sound
Levitation; lift from the ground...mission is found...ignition is turned
Then I sit back listen and learn...
I was feeling the burn, give me the breeze...
I've found a balance...
Here is where I'm finding equilibrium alignment...
Here resides what I was after...exactly the driving factor that had me in tact..
So I react when it arrives to capture
I will respond.
I will be receptive...connected when I feel at ease..I'll receive
The message given sent from the soul...uplift and unfold into a
Position where vision is..
That yields a derivative so...
Show me something clever...I'll proceed to find
What redefines what's recent indeed it exceeds the times
This is precisely what could enlighten and free my mind
There is no interference..confusion becomes coherence
This form of resurrection sends me through the next progression...
I hear perfection in the midst of the sound....
Levitation; lift from the ground, mission is found...ignition is turned...then I sit back, listen and learn!

I need to take a breather...

I apologize for not being as vocal as I should have been over the past couple of months but I needed to take moment of clarity.

From dawn until dusk I want more, yearn for a new experience.

Can the acceptance of reality be a distraction to dreams?

Do you hear me?

Season's right around the corner...Music and Football merged in a track i threw together a while back.

I remembered watching this movie in 9th grade English! Thought about it the other day and looked it up on Amazon.com, $7 dollar steal!!! Came in the mail a few weeks back.
I watched the movie...did the track immediately after with my own piano/vocal sample...
It's interesting to see what people in the 1960's thought today would be like. I'm glad they haven't destroyed all literature yet!

Chris Dave on Drums!

Dave Matthews Band 6/28

This band works so well together!!! Dave Matthews is not only a great songwriter but has a remarkable voice, Carter Beauford is definitely one of my favorite drummers and Boyd Tinsley is a man amongst boys when he hits a violin solo. I didn't even know half the tunes they played but everything sounded amazing!

Give us an Original

I love when people think outside the norm. I really love when those thoughts are sensible with benevolent intent. I really really love when people don't necessarily agree or accept, but are open enough to listen.

Rock the Bells Tour 2008

There must be at least 10 tour busses for this one... 8 or 9 for the entourage/hypemen alone.
This show is guaranteed to include copious amounts of great beats, lyrics and a myriad of "hands in the air" demands!

Very genuine and modest cat with tons of potential. I have to admit...I'm excited for this lyricist.

MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) Campaign

Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. It is estimated to be a $5 to $9 billion-a-year industry.

The MTV EXIT Campaign was launched in Europe and Asia to bring awareness to this ongoing epidemic. Radiohead contributed their single "All I Need" to accompany a video showing and comparing a day in the life of a child forced to work in a shoe factory against a child who wears them as he goes about his daily experience.

Writer's Block

Over the past year, I have taken a different approach toward writing lyrics...which sometimes turn out to be meaningless to listeners who either don't understand or are incapable of using self interpretation. Being that I have been attempting to complete some sort of solo project, I would get frustrated when I could only write half of a piece because I hate putting things down and coming back to them. Writer's block?...

Have you ever been able to distinguish natural from forced writing?

Have I stopped writing with a specific intent??? Now that I really think about it, these days it feels like I don't even write my own words or lyrics...it's from some sort of exogenous source....coming from elsewhere and tapping something within and outside of my thoughts that I often fail to activate on sudden command....Come Back.

Live, Life, Lost --

Thoughts travel throughout a mind skipping over pools of ideas and memories. Losing time and history can break a spirit. Material things are the treasured losses yet replaceable; short term. What about those we can't buy back?

I would like to say that this woman is absolutely amazing. The passion that lies within her lyrics and sound provides a sense of admiration. Please listen, learn, and take heed.
