Solo Shows

I've learned volumes from the past couple of weeks of solo shows. Among the things I've learned - if your only tool is a hammer then all of your problems tend to look like nails. Also, never mix the grape with the grain.

Everybody is just talking to themselves really.

This whole Phil Robertson affair is simply fantastic. Now I get to find out which of my friends think gay people are going to hell - or that there even exists a "hell" for them to go to - without actually having to ask them such an uncomfortable question. And they get to answer my unasked question without feeling uncomfortable. It's a win / win!

The piano is the single greatest musical instrument ever invented. I say that entirely without qualification.

Time is simply a function of motion

We are each and all simply individual manifestations of consciousness coming to know itself in the infinite clearing of Being, which is simply the space-time continuum. 

Beginnings and endings are illusions; time isolated from motion is equally an illusion, because the phenomenon of time - as we experience and perceive it - is simply a product of motion occurring at our specific degree of definition, mass and density (which is merely a more precise way of describing “size” from a Universal perspective). In the total absence of motion, there would be no time.

Everything which exists, every particular manifestation of matter, is composed at the absolute irreducible core level of resonating and vibrating strands of pure energy in an infinite multitude of configurations, and since energy can neither be created nor destroyed and is therefore eternal, everything which exists is fundamentally eternal as well.

The Universe, therefore, is exactly the sum total of everything which exists – and this collected existence, Being, has no beginning or end, rather it simply Is. The Universe, of which we are individual manifestations, collected together as a whole must therefore speak of itself simply as, “I Am.”

Well, the first short UK tour with Ben Bastin on bas definitely flew by! And it was very good to be back out playing for audiences again. We'll do much more in the new year when the album is finally released.

My first single, "Deeper In Debt," was released today . . . Now I can just hope that some radio somewhere actually plays it!
