ARTIST
Since I was very young, I have sort of channeled songs, not even knowing what I had written right after writing it. It's always been hard to keep up with the flow. It gets captured in a matter of minutes on napkins, menus, phone notes, phone recorder, etc. and I usually find days, weeks or months later and barely recall even writing the lyrics or melodies. Then I stick up a mike and cut them as fast as possible and move on. This approach gives me a better shot at keeping up with the flow, though I'm probably still a hundred pages of something behind. I hope the listener finds the over-all vibe of the recordings to at least be fresh, though imperfect, as a result of spontaneous lack of worry with perfection in the music production. If the songs don't speak for themselves, that's their problem.
I recently met a Dr., Eric, who had brain cancer. He told me he had gotten a lot out of my songs, which he had as one off CDs I had given his girlfriend. Even though people have told me basically the same thing over the years, that exchange with a person savoring his mortality prompted this website so anyone that might get a blessing big or small from it might have easy access.
If you take the time to mine this material, I hope you find something that makes the effort worthwhile and puts in perspective that "were all waiting in the checkout line" as that song says, and should embrace the best of every second of every minute of every hour of every day, on our way to the register. I wish you all the best.
Thanks and take care,
Perry
