Near the end of 2013 Ben had a conversation with me about composing to a schedule. This being about a song writing challenge group, and how it might help overcome certain hurdles. I wasn't fully comfortable with joining it, but it did inspire me to write a bunch of mostly terrible pieces. Here is a work in progress that I dislike less than most of the others.

Also the images are some of the random balancing of objects I used to do while in public spaces (I mainly just do it with any coins in a tip now standing them on edge). The movie editor required that I have some kind of image content so I used those stills. Feel free to not watch, it's not exciting.
The (working) title is Forever Stops Today, but i suspect that is a bit too ridiculous even for me so it will likely change.
The Manual for Not Quitting
A. Make friends with others who make art, and share your in-progress work with each other frequently.
B. Learn to think of (A), rather than the Museum of Modern Art, as the destination of your work. (Look at it this way: If all goes well, MOMA will eventually come to YOU.) - David Bayles & Ted Orland, Art & Fear

Oh my love/Lay me down
This song has been floating around in my headspace for a while, and it feels good to put something down. Sorry for the shabby recording. I put words to it this morning, but those might change. Also, I'm not sure of the title. I think "Lay me down" might work, but not sure. Here it is: Oh my love

The Jalopy Theater
So Ben and I went here last night to hear a show. It was quite the experience. I thought I would start sharing the ideas I had for recording and setting up his second album there.
