music to my ears

drum roll please....i am making music again.

nothing much yet. just a couple of ideas for songs recorded right now. nothing really that worked out...

but i am having fun and feeling creative and connected to this in a way i haven't in a LONG time.

the last few years, i have focused most of my creative energy on my drawings, which was very rewarding for me, and i don't regret it at all. but i have wanted so badly to be writing songs, and wanting to find a way to blend the visual things i love with music during this time, too. i tend to be pretty hard on myself with any musical output in general. this time around, instead of letting that keep me at square one, i decided i would just experiment and do some of the things i think about, and not care too much what the outcome was. i tried my hand at writing some new poetry (not so successful) and also picked up an old hymn book for inspiration (much more successful).

and i am hoping that this has started a new leaf in my creative life. that these lazy summer months (where most everyone we live life with here in NJ are gone...yikes!) would be more than time drifting by...if there's anything worth posting here, i will do that.
cheers to new leaves!
