Welcoming myself back...

     I see that it's been over a year since I've posted anything.
Not that I intended to abandon the page, mind you. Even though I feel that I am a musician full-time, if the truth be told I can only DO music part-time due to demands that are put on me to keep things together.
   You see, the unfortunate thing about us artists is that artistic work cannot be placed very high on our "priority list", no matter how much we want it there. One can scarcely be an artist without a place to work, food to eat, and a myriad of other lesser requirements needed to pursue the emptiness of time required to write and/or practice.

    For me, practice has to give way as well. There's no doubt I would be a technically better player if I didn't have to use what free time I can muster to write & record. So no wonder tasks like blogging get so short-changed.
    "No artist can exist without support" goes the mantra. I am no exception, though sometimes it would be better if my support were in the form of more hands to perform mundane chores, prepare meals and take care of business. 

     But I have built up a few things I should like to write about, so I am back...even though for awhile I couldn't find my own blog.
