"So...What's the Hold Up?"

Although unlikely, perhaps there is someone out there that has been following this blog and/or awaiting the release of my next album"Never And Forever"...And if there is such a person somewhere in this vast world of ours, perhaps they are asking themselves that very question.  So, indeed...what is the holdup?  I could say that it's been difficult to work now that summer is here and I'm busy with other things (which is partially true), but the truth is this:  I'm stuck.

The song "Anything At All" is just not cooperating.  I can blame it all on one thing....the verse melody. I just don't like it.  And if I don't like it, certainly you won't either.  And that just won't do.  Usually I can come up with any number of melody ideas for a given chord structure, but this one is leaving me cold.

So tonight it's time to break out the old acoustic and come up with some beautiful melodies that will be worthy of the undying devotion of that one person out there (that may or may not exist) who is waiting so patiently for me to finish this thing.

Also...

If you haven't yet, go download you free (high quality) copy of So Far Gone.  Just do it...it's free!

Thanks for listening,
