Life's been good so far

Not long ago, Jamie asked me if I'd like to write something that would appear in InkStain'D on a weekly basis. She said I could write about whatever happened to be topping my mental playlist at the moment. Maybe that's not quite how she put it, but in another life I was an author, freelance writer and a sometimes editor, so I guess I still feel free to edit. But moving right along, I've always felt that I had plenty to say and that all I needed was an audience. And now I would have one? Who could ask for more?

So, now that I have this space which is all mine, what do I want to do with it. Or, I asked myself, do I want to commit to one specific topic? I gave my own question some thought and decided that the answer was a most emphatic, firmly stated yes and no. Yes, since music from the '60s to music out there right now is my passion, I'll mostly write about it. But no, I don't want to be restricted, even if said restriction is self-imposed. What if I sat down to write one day, only to find that something else was perched at the top of my mind's mountain?

So here I am, just a guy who will write mostly about music, but maybe not always. Does that make sense? It does to me and I'm good with that.

But who is this guy who thinks he can write something interesting that's mostly about music. Well, I'm a former DJ, who at one time or another played a bit of everything that one can play on the radio. I'm now doing freelance voice work and running a couple of Internet only radio stations at Live 365. I'm happily married to Jamie, the editor, owner and everything else that matters at her blog Flying Furballs and publisher of the e-newsrag InkStain'D. All of that translates to me borrowing the words of Joe Walsh to say "life's been good to me so far."

 

Yup, that about covers it, except to say that I hope I'll be able to offer some looks back, ahead or sideways at the musical scene or sometimes at something else that keeps you coming back for more.
