Waxing philosophical

I just got in from sitting in a smoky bar for about 3 hours, waiting for my turn to play at the open mic around the corner from the University of Memphis. And before that, I sat around a coffee bar for a couple of hours across the street from the other smoky bar, enduring a seemingly endless run of local artists butcher cover tunes from the 70's, while I waited to share my nuggets of original music with the masses. Recently, I've been trying to really focus in on why I do what I do musically. I was not born a musician, and although all of my family sing in some form or fashion, since as far back as I can remember, I started late, in my late 20's, and have continued to build on that for the last few years. I think the most important thing for me to remember in my music, is to love people, and make sure they know that God loves them, using words only when necessary.
