the garage

today I embrace the blogging world . . . my wife just hooked me up with this amazing blog page . . . she's a blogging genius . . . i keep telling her that she should write a book . . . i'd read it, but then again, I'm her husband . . .

i've been told that the 'first blog' is supposed to be some profound life changing blog . . . so here it goes . . .

when I was 10 years old, I started a band called Outburst . . . benji on the drums . . . jeremy on the electric guitar . . . and of course, I played the keyboard . . . it all began in our garage . . . we wrote songs . . . we practiced every night . . . we even performed 'live' for the neighbors . . . seriously, our friends and their families would gather in our garage for concerts . . . we would flick the garage lights on and off for a light show . . . and we even produced a music video . . . true story . . .

and so i dedicate this first blog to all those musicians who are trying so hard to get their bands off the ground . . . to bands like Wesley Jensen and Friends . . . and garage rock bands like the Myriad . . . and local bands who play in bars and pizza parlors . . . don't give up . . .

one day the world will hear your songs . . . and they will gather in your garage like they gathered in mine . . .
