about

It became apparent that unless I got my old gear fixed, I wasn’t going to record anymore. I realized the gear is part of the ceremony, like a guitar with soul in it vs. those who only see these things as tools. I feel their presence and it feeds into how what happens goes down. It’s more of a dance of creation than swinging a hammer. I found a guy who fixed old 4 tracks and brought him a box of them to try to save one. He saved them all. I’m good to go. There’s little in life that stirs my creative side like peeling the plastic off a brand new old stock Maxell XLII. I smell every one; they still smell the same. I need that. Life is moving very quickly. These songs and their textures fell out of my head through my hands in two days I had and it felt like the most honest thing I’d ever done with my songs. Some were newer, some were older. The main guitar was a Yamaha acoustic I bought for a hundred and something out of an Austin pawn shop that reminded me so much of my first acoustic I started the journey with the second I picked it up. I needed that. Like me, any roughness is proof of authenticity. Here’s to Vol. 1, and here it is.
