While I haven't written as much as I had planned over the
last month, I have made some progress
towards my ultimate goal. Writing
music again.
Business travel and projects have been at the front of my
mind, trying to finish strong in 2013.
Process improvement opportunities, website development and supporting our teams goals have been both
challenging and rewarding. Taking care of my family, especially during the ice storm and
practicing driving with my son have been exiting too.
Maybe these limitations on my time have helped me focus. I
have found some time to improve my home recording techniques, especially harmonies. I've been revisiting some ancient original
songs, trying some new chords and the
like. Most importantly, all this has led
to the first lyrics I have written in quite some time. They definitely need some work, but at least
I am taking baby steps.
For my beautiful wife Juanita.
Once upon a time, years ago
Left my birthplace, for lands unknown
I thought I would find my fortune or fame
A rags to riches dream runnin through my veins
But how was I to know, what I would find
Just north of the borderline
I fell in love with a beautiful girl
she rocked my fantasy world
Her love, made me realize that I lacked a direction
Fortune and fame are nothin without some love and affection
Love of my life, you're everything, you're everything I need
When I'm down and out, your love embraces me
Things may not have turned out, like my young man dreams
But they turned out better, you mean the world to me
