A little SRV and an update. Listen and read if you like:
Been busy as usual lately. I have been spending more time over at a foster mother's place from years ago doing a lot of talking, praying and clearing out and getting free from many thoughts that I accepted over the years. Its funny how over time we accept lies/half truths about ourselves and the world around us and how that controls how we do life. Life over the past couple years especially has been a huge 180 and going well but these times are helping me to go do a different level.
I did not think it possible but in some way I feel I have recaptured the innocence that I had when I first came to Christ. Now that is freedom. Getting free from guilt, shame and any of the low things we feel for things done some intentional and some not. This time around though I find I am much wiser and have something I did not have before. A deeper experience of who Christ is and an awareness of God at work today.
In my early years I used to feel pretty timid about even saying anything about God even though I was supposed to be bold. I pushed through it many times anyway. Today I don't even think about it. So I think the experience has made a huge difference. I am thankful.
I continue to work on the musical side of my career. I am still chiseling away at my solo CD. My progress there has more to do with sound than composition. I am able to get some pretty good sounds and have found new tricks lately that take my stock up to a different level. I also have started reaching out to find college students/interns to help me produce my instruction DVD. I am recording with a friend here in town for a band we are designing to play here in Cincinnati and also doing a song with 4 other guitarist here in the U.S. I am still waiting for the release of the compilation CD. That will feature I think 14 guitarists (not sure if there were cuts yet) representing the US, UK, Canada, and Russia. I am also now acting as Tour Manager to help lead in the design of a regional guitar clinic tour which is being planned to cover Chicago, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne and then land back in Chicago. And with this I am also working on a full written curriculum for my students.
So I have my work cut out for me. And thats just the things I am allowed to talk about! LOL! Anyway I have said that I always wanted to go back to Atlanta or L.A. for music school. I don't feel that need as much these days. I am doing much of what I would do there right here in Cincinnati.
Well gotta go. Going to the Kings Island water park again today to chill with Julia.
Peace,
Randy
