I want a home bigger home office…not your typical home office, but one with cool gadgets, one entire wall that is a whiteboard, a punching bag and mini-bar. Ok, let’s scratch the mini-bar, God knows that would be a bad idea.

Another musical discovery that I’m sure is more of a “where the hell have you been”moment than a discovery, but still. If you haven’t heard of The Civil Wars, like I hadn’t, go to their website and check them out (http://thecivilwars.com). Not only do John and Joy look like they belong on the silver screen, but they make music with beautiful harmonies. Rather than doing a terrible write up about them, in which I would probably compare the looks of John to Johnny Depp (seriously take a look at their pictures) I’ll just post another YouTube video and let you eat your heart out.
The Counting Crows were close, but instead of wanting something beautiful I want to create something beautiful.
A week ago I was lucky enough to get a tour of an old run down building in Sioux City. On the wall near the entrance were remnants of what appeared to be a great painting. I was blown away with what I saw, which was apparent neglect of something beautiful.
Is it the over saturation of images and media that drives this numbness? I’d like to know so I can be sure to recognize and cherish all of the beauty life has to offer.
The Mighty Short Bus (MSB) rocked Friday night, Not only are they all talented musicians, they’re all stellar guys. Frank and the boys played 3 great sets for a good sized crowd at the Skyline. I was impressed with the way MSB had their song choice arranged, building momentum and capitalizing on the crowds applause and rolling songs seamlessly into one another.
After the show with a little drink and party I came to the same point that I despise each and every show like that: the end of the night. In my mind (after several drinks of course) I feel like the night should never end. In reality, I have a wife and kids at home who will need me to be functioning the next morning. Maybe that’s what I love so much about live music, the connection between worlds. We’re all the same…people I mean. But what we choose to do with our lives can be very very different.
