Soul Rebel

After Evan Miles was born, it felt like the whole world had been turned 90 degrees from what I considered regular. It has taken a little while for me to make sense of things enough to go back about living. Really I'm still working on it. A surprisingly difficult part was the music. Possibly because my mind and body had been operating under emergency/shock/adrenaline powers, it was nearly impossible to play any musical ideas that I thought were creative. Two things helped in getting back in the groove.

1) Thinking about what I was gonna tell Evan when he's 15 about being dedicated. I hope that by that time, Evan will be looking toward the future in his own life and deciding what he wants his life to be about. It's up to me to set the example by continuing to work hard to play music consistent with the drive I had before I knew Evan was on the way.

2) Playing a whole lot of soul music!! Getting in the studio an cutting the Soul Rebel Alliance demo was key. My soul brothers really helped me out by letting me stand on their shoulders....the whole while singing inspirational songs of love and positivity. Thanks boys! Now I'm playing for two of us.
