With the welcome demise of the Sounds Are Active myspace page and the more painful shuttering of the BBS I have started to create a framework for two important things: family life and making music. I still enjoy talking with anyone about music and I am always hopeful that the music I love or have released will reach out to a wider audience. However, I have for too long sacrificed quite a lot of time and money in addition to overloading myself with projects that have reduced my enthusiasm and passion for the music that I create.

Here’s to focusing on being an artist and less on being a mogul.

My family too, has patiently made allowances for my late nights and insufferable attachment to the computer. My gift back to them is to make the most of my time, get comfortable not working on a thousand things and have fun. The near future will be an interesting and revealing time.

Here’s to working on working less and living more.
