Lucky Kid

Hey, this probably won't be the blog that gets 40 comments and everyone talking, and definitely not fighting....

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that comes here to my website, most if not all of you have supported me in some way or another, weather it's coming to the shows, telling other people about me, and buying my cds.

A few years ago I got in my car with $100 in my pocket and the best line of tour dates I could come up with on my own. Things have grown and changed a lot over the last few years, I used to sleep in my tent, or car, sometimes, well, one time I slept on the hardwood floor of a crack house, true story that included gun shots outside the house and all. Now I've made friends across the country, many of which have taken care of me along the way, needless to say I haven't slept in a tent or car in a long time. Thanks to everyone that's taken me in.

I'm certainly not a super star or getting rich, but I have gotten to the point where I'm able to play music full time which is the dream I've had since I was a little kid, thank you for that.

I think the thing is, I don't know, maybe it's that somewhere in the music I make there's some element that allows me to connect with all of you. At times it doesn't seem like my music belongs to me, or that I even made it, like I'm just channelling something if that makes sense. I know I'm not able to hang out with everyone that listens to my music, I can't just meet you all for lunch and a good laugh, though I'd like to and I think in different circumstances we'd probably spend a lot of time together, I guess what I mean is that the relationship we have with my music, just proves we have something in common, whatever that is. So thanks for being my friend and believing that what I do is worth while.

yeah, I think that's all I wanted to say, was thank you.

Congrats on living and seeing the lives that swirl by and taking in - like the Island cultures that inhale the person at greatings and departures. Aloha...
