synergizification
I haven't written here in a long time.
I don't know if I would consider myself to have been grossly uninspired lately or what, I just haven't been in the writing mode. Partly I think life has been crowding out the space that I really need to be creative and/or reflect. Sandboxes and lawn mowers, flowers and ministry - not to mention the long list of things still left to do.
But now there are some exciting developments, and I guess you could say I'm inspired once again.
We had an awesome band practice last night. I mean really good - better than we've ever had. Partly because of the caliber of the people playing, it makes a big difference. Partly because we rehearsed for 2 hours and covered all of 2 songs. Man, there is so much energy in musicians collaborating and really sweating the details and fine tuning a piece of music. It is really humbling from my perspective because we are fine tuning and sweating songs that I have written (and a couple that I've co-written.)
That's a cool thing. I mean I haven't gotten that much energy from playing 2 songs in a long time. We're rehearsing in anticipation of doing a live recording of a bunch of the stuff I've written.
It's going to be a very long summer - I hate giving up another night of the week. But boy, I'd give up a lot more than that to have another rehearsal like I had last night.
thanks guys and gals who gave up their time to collaborate and inspire with me:)

Thank you for sharing the music and inviting us to be a part of the process...it was a blast! Another reminder of what a group of people can accomplish when inspired.
(notice how I cleverly worked the word "process" in there....wouldn't Mike be proud?)
I couldn't be prouder...if that's a word. It sounds like you're enjoying the process! That makes my day!
