Here, here! Here I am!

Absence. Darkness. Waiting. My blog has sat neglected for well over 2 months. Marriage, music, employment and exciting movies have incurred since my last entering.

Staci and I were married on the Ides of May (5/15/2010 for those that don't know). It was quite the momentus occasion, as the photo depicts. I discovered that married life has never been described quite right. The words don't exist to describe the great pleasure it is to marry your dearest, best friend. She is quite a delight!

On to the music department. The band that I am currently providing my Lead Guitar services for, Image Down, is on it's way to making its way through the world. The Image Down website is due to be up soon, complete with bios, pics, music and more! I'm excited! We have a four song demo that we will soon distribute to many venues in the hope that someone will like us. We have about 12 original songs known and ready to show off to the world. Our music style can be somewhat be referred to as an "Alternative Cocktail." Each member of the band has their own favoring era of the Alternative genre: Dark 80's, Electro-80's, Punk-90's, and Pop-00's. It may sound messy, but the flavors blend together quite well when the right sounds are emphasised depending on the song. I will whore my band on this 'ere blag once the website is up and running. I'll also post show information.

In my last post, I promised that I would delve into the wonderful world of guitars. There are many, many, many, many, many different aspects of the guitar that determine sound, sustain (how long a note can be held for), playability, style and other things. To tell the truth, I lied. I'm not going to do that with this post. I will, however, dedicate the whole next post on this, as well as an update on the band information....since that is what this blog is supposed to be about. :D

To live and die is our purpose. To live and play makes the dying seem further away....
