I can only wake up everyday listening to Jake Gyllenhaal now.. Top Story - July 2020.
I feel invited into this memory, dream or alternate reality with Quentin. As I roll out of bed, I switch on the speaker and Jake’s song wakes me up. I stare out the window come rain, wind or shine and wonder where Grace is. Maybe I should learn the piece and play it on the keyboard. If you want to sing with me I’d feel lucky. I feel invited into this memory, dream or alternate reality with Quentin. I want to sing along in his room and forget about things. Just goof around, open the curtains and close them quickly in case Grace sees and I can be happy in the ambience.

Artist of the Decade
I'm not sure how to start this one off other than with a question, what does music mean to you? Is it something to fill the silence, background noise to work to, something to get your thoughts going, beats that make you want to shake it off, what is it? For me personally, it's my savior after a long day, it's the perfect vibe to make have a good time and dance, it helps me get in a feel good headspace, and it makes me feel connected to that particular artist. There is one defining moment when you latch onto an artist, one instance that shakes your soul at the core from their lyrics and connects you on the same brainwaves. Most of you that truly appreciate music are reading this thinking, what was that moment for me and who did I connect to? Guys don't stress, it can be more than one artist but it is only one particular moment that made you go, oh my gosh I felt that line, chorus, song, or album!

The Marathon Continues
I guess you could consider this an open letter to a man who, through being a fan of the person I assumed him to be, I looked at as a role model in many aspects. I am going to try to do my best not to say his name or speak on the day he was taken from us. Honestly, I never got the chance to meet him in person and for all I know, my perception of him as a stand up individual could be totally misguided; although, I don’t believe this to be true, nor is that the purpose of this piece.
