I say thank you, because you are awesome

On commute from Chicago to Detroit last week, Peyton​ Tochterman and I were joking about how the music business makes NO sense most of the time.

Peyton quoted Hunter S. Thompson: “The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”

LOL!

Last week, and really the last five years, has been a contradiction to that when I focus on you, and not “the industry.”

Music has been a wonderful excuse to make new friends, and bump into old friends who attend a concert: friends from high school I haven’t seen in years, college friends with jobs out of state, musicians one their night off, Holly teachers on summer break, former students now with families and jobs…

Today, two days after a successful short run of gigs dates, I have to pause and write a thank you. I’m four years into music full time, and I couldn’t be doing it without your support.
