All the Weary (Feels): Pod Blog
“All the weary world awaits you, when you’re on your own…” Last year, “All the Weary World” was in my top three streamed songs. I started writing it in the summer of 2009. 15 years ago…long before: 2025: I binged watched Ted Lasso in the basement 2024: I was the “best music cha” ever. 2023:

My Life My Heart
“On New Year’s Eve I held a light and I held it high…exposing awkward dances…” A few weeks ago, I lent an old blazer of mine to my son who is a senior in high school. When he put it on, I saw the breast pocket was pronounced. I have a habit of putting papers

My favorite Christmas Carol*
*this year. As someone with seasonal depression, “In the bleak mid-winter” based on the poem by Christina Rossetti from 1872, always gets me “in the feels.” I recently learned this Victorian era poet suffered from “melancholy” (depression) herself.

Little chapel, big sound
March 1, 2025 held a great evening in the course of my little life. I was super proud to be a part of Kyle Smith’s album release show at a new all ages venue in south Fort Wayne which he helps run. The bill was K. Edward Smith with full band, Sanchez Agency, and Tom

Goshen Theater Again
All the stage is a world, and every time I’m on one, everywhere I’ve ever been is available to me. A year ago, (12/2/23) I played in a rock show at the Goshen Theater. It was 11 years since my feet last touched its boards. At that time, in 2012, the Texarkana Two and I

Pod Blog: S3 Ep6 Never Really Over
Here’s a 60 second clip of a reharsal leading up to the recording session for today’s song. This was the first time I had two guests on an episode. My Uncle, Steve Peck and my friend, Brannon Hancock. My Uncle has a nick name for me “The Groove Guy.” It comes from an interaction we
