When I was about 16 years old, I picked up this old acoustic guitar that my Dad had laying around the house.  I can't say that I really focused on actually learning how to play it, but what I do remember is that I loved writing songs with it.  And these were remarkably bad songs to be certain, but the important thing was that they were the musical building blocks that I would continue to build my love of music on.

When I fast forward to today, I find that though I did eventually (somehow) become a passable guitar player, and though I absolutely love the feeling that I get from playing live music, my real enjoyment comes from what I started doing all those years ago when I first picked up my Dad's old acoustic guitar - and that's writing music.

Music is a pretty cool and unique thing.  As a songwriter, the feeling you can get from creating, can be just as powerful of a feeling (or maybe even more so) to the person who listens to it.  To be able to evoke an emotional response in another person simply through sound is kinda' nifty if you think about it.

Didn't really mean to get all Jack Handy Deep Thoughts and all - anyway, thanks for listening!
