Sound Saturday
It's Saturday, It's 11AM and as always when I'm home at this time my radio is tuned to Chicago Public Radio... time for Sound Opinions. This week they're talking about The Moog synthesizer and it's influence on all genres of music since it's creation. I've always had little to no interest in synth, until recently. Listening to this dissection has peaked my interest and amplified my appreciation. Here's a link to the podcast and some links to great synth songs....

Giving in
So, I've been following quite a few blogs here for over a year now and I guess today is the day I suck it up and start my own personal blog. I'm a bit reluctant, that's for sure. There's always been something in me that resisted the urge to share my thoughts with complete strangers. But, as I recently started blogging for my new business, I figured there's nothing THAT wrong with it.
This isn't meant to be one of those hilarious observational blogs started with the intentions of getting a publishing deal, optioned for a film script or any of that. This will be whatever it is. If there's one modern human tendency I wish I could change it would be that of constantly needing to label, define and categorize everything we come in contact with; as if it implies some superiority over the things, places and situations we create. Do we really need to dominate everything??
And I digress. I'm not really that cynical (anymore). If I had started blogging about four years ago.... well let's just be glad that didn't happen. A lot has happened to me, and I've made a lot happen in my life recently and I'm grateful everyday that I've landed where I have: in a city that I love, surrounded by people I love and who love me, a job that I enjoy, with the recognition of how lucky I am.
The autumn sun is setting beautifully here in Chicago, casting a warm glow in my 9th floor southwest-corner apartment. It's time for a Goose Island Harvest Ale.
More soon...
Be good, Be well
