Now I&#8217;m doing a video on demand guitar course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have started the process of re-recording a song that I wrote and summarily butchered several years ago. I am very excited by another song that is bordering on loud post-punk and the kind of music I hear when being woken out of a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m researching, too. Nonfiction books. Old movies. Even an adventure here and there, as time allows. There&#8217;s a story in here somewhere. Again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly, I&#8217;m learning and expanding so that the next project can be even better than the last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started as a drummer who wanted to write three chord punk songs with his brother and friends. Now, it&#8217;s hard to say.  I don&#8217;t watch tv. I rarely play video games. This is the thing I do. I turn thoughts into music, and whatever happens after is going to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updates and thoughts on the next project.
