Life and Stuff

This may seem a little short sited, but I don’t have a lot of time and I’ve neglected this site for too long.

All my life I’ve been lead to believe that dreams could be achieved, records could be broken, and anything is possible. My dad got his first record player at the age of two. Now he’s being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Back when I was five, my parents purchased my first instrument; drums. Wasn’t too difficult for a little kid to bang on stuff, I was pretty much doing that anyways with the pots and pans. We had a studio piano in the house that my brother would frequent, I tought myself how to play and found decent melodies and wrote short songs that were never recorded. When I hit thirteen I picked up my brother’s acoustic guitar and knew that this was the instrument for me.

I always thought that I would drop out of high school and be a successful musician or something. I had no idea how the music industry as we knew it would change and how the evolution of distribution would be so accessible. I always knew that the internet would be the easiest and fastest way to deliver that content, but didn’t know to what extent. I’m glad I didn’t become successful when I wanted to. I’m happy to know that I dodged a storm that could’ve sent me adrift into financial ruin.

I just want to congratulate my dad on living the dream and leading by example. He has always strived for greatness and worked hard for everything he has to offer. He is and will always be an amazing person, radio legend, and father.
