Good Enough Again
This is a newly edited version of a previously released post. It deals with the album/song process. I am terrible at getting things done. I have no problem coming up with ideas. I have notebooks full of ideas. There might…

A rock in my pocket
Let’s talk about all the weird stuff that is in your collection of sentimental crap?
Kicking open the screen door
