New things...

Well, since I blog so often and so well, I thought I would start one apart from the slightly less user-friendly myspace blog (no offense Tom). I want a place for friends, family, fans... whomever... to come and see what's going on in this life of mine.

This week had it's slow days and fast days. I spent Wednesday afternoon and evening recording keyboards for Tom Schreck's new record... which is quite killer by the way. We hammered out 11 songs in close to 7 hours, so it was a marathon of recording, but went really well and busted my chops, which I needed... it was a blast. I am still doing some teaching and just reached the 6 month mark with my first students, Kevin Mawae's kids (of the Titans)... they have come a very long way and we were looking back and what they've accomplished thus far... it's been a blessing to see students progress and attempting to help them along the way.

Austin Adams and I wrote another song yesterday, titled "Push and Shove." Perhaps one of my favorites from the Adams/Pittman catalog (which isn't very large, mind you)... but hey, it is a cool tune for us and a bit of a segue from our typical writing style I would say... We both poured some significant anger and frustration into the song and that is evident when you hear it.

So now I am sitting in bed after staying up way to late on a friday evening. We watched rocketman last night... some disney movie that I regrettably had never heard of, much to the dismay of my friends. When they mentioned the film, I thought they meant "The Rocketeer," so I was thrilled. I loved the Rocketeer as a kid... but not Rocketman... and let me say, I probably needed to watch that movie when I was 12, because I found it lame... I think I laughed twice... maybe... oh well. I'm sure it would be better if I associated childhood memories with it... like I do with so many other average movies.

And there it stands... my first blog... on this site at least... stay tuned.
