Subject: Hey Friend, remember me?

It wouldn't surprise me if you said "NO!" It's been a while.

You know when you haven't done something in a long time, it can take a couple of good "kicks in the pants" to get it started again?

I waited to send this so it didn't get lost in the Black Friday/Cyber-Monday tidal wave of emails filling your inbox, so here goes...

Damn!

It's been a hell of a year and a half... for all of us. I hope this finds you in a good spot, both mentally and physically.

So where (the hell) have I been?

Right here. The whole time. Not quite in a dark place, but deeply shadowed.

Jaded. Lonely. Concerned. Angry. And disconnected.

Stuck in the house. Working from home. Damn-near became a recluse...
Maybe you can relate? Probably.

I should've reached out... But we don't always do what we "should," right?

Lost my dad, first to Alzheimer's, then death. It's been almost a year now. We couldn't attend his memorial due to, well, you know.

This year, we watched helplessly as two pets became ill and had to make the gut-wrenching decision to put them to sleep.

And I just found out my buddy from my first band (lead guitarist) passed away.

So yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say we've ALL had a crappy run of it.

And yet, all along, guitar has been here.

When there was no one to talk to, my guitar helped me keep a handle on sanity.

Just the ability to pick it up and pluck a few notes, strum a chord or two, it's been a tangible anchor keeping a connection between shadow and light.

There's joy in playing. Music has been a constant, and at times, a lifeline.

What about you, Friend?

How are you doing? Has life been kicking you around, or did this lockdown let you dig into your guitar playing more?

Maybe some good has come out of it?

I'd love to hear from you regardless. Just hit reply and let me know how you're doing. Please.

Peace~
