However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Just as the highest and the lowest notes are equally inaudible, so perhaps, is the greatest sense and the greatest nonsense equally unintelligible.

Thank you

I hope everyone got the free download of cinnamon girl and rocked it loud for the neighbors and friends.
I want to thank you guys for over 10,000 hits to my site for 2009. It was far more than I ever dreamed I would get here.
I also want to thank you guys for all of the support you have given me this year.
I also want to let you know right now that I WILL be doing a few live shows in 2010. Some will be solo stuff and a couple might be with a suprise band. We will have to see which way the wind blows.
Whatever happens, 2010 looks to be a great year full of music and love.
Keep you eyes open for my new CD "Back to One"
The new CD from Evil Diesel (my full band project) almost finished recording now
SBTS (another full band project that I joined)
AND my new book "Rational thoughts from a damaged brain"
That's a lot of stuff to watch for but I promise it will be worth it.

Have a happy new year !!!
See you soon, CC

December- tis the season

First a quick update on projects- Book #2 - I am reading it and making edits. Man I cuss a lot. I wonder how many cuss words I took out of my first book. I am leaving them all in this one. Get ready for some major F bombs.
Solo CD- Back to One- Still working on some new tracks that I decided to add to the CD BUT I am trying to have a free download of 1 song ready for xmas. I might mix this song as is for a xmas gift from me to you. SO it might end up sounding different on the final version.
Music side Project #1-SBTS- Still recording in Houston.
Music side project #2- This project of mine has grown into a monster. A full blown CD is almost finished recording. This by far is my favorite rock band project in a long long time. I have written 10 songs for the project and long time friend Nathan Schmidt is re-recording my guitar parts and adding his own lead tracks. My hands have gotten to bad lately to play the way I am used to. I can tell you this though- If you like AC/DC then you will love this band that Nate and I have put together. I have come up with a name and I am working on artwork now for the band. Keep watching updates for the release of the name of the project and more details soon!
Health update-- I still have MS' ..............lol
Winter always sucks but this one is not as harsh on me as last year. Mostly my hands are taking the abuse this winter. That has slowed me down recording my guitar tracks and I keep dropping stuff but my legs have been doing ok.
I hope everyone has a great week and if you don't celebrate xmas then have a happy whatever day you choose. Keep checking back for info on the FREE download.
Hugs,

November 22

Just a quick update on what's up with me.

Working on the 2nd book still. There's a excerpt on my last blog. This one has been rough and emotional for me. It's harder than I thought it was going to be. I'm finding out a lot about myself.

On the music front I'm still working on Back to One. I think the last few songs are going to be really stripped down. Just vocals and a guitar. It looks like it will be full instruments on half of the cd and stripped down on the other half.

Sounds behind the sun is still working on recording also.

A new project has been spawned from an idea I had while talking with Nate. It's a project that I've always wanted to do but just never have. Sounds like a total 1980's ac/dc type band when they still had Bon Scott. I've been writing songs and playing rough guitar tracks then sending them to Houston for nate to replace with tracks of his own. I add the vocals as the songs near completion. The CD already has 4 songs pretty much done. Crazy how things work out. Watch out for news on that one in the coming months.

MS has been up and down. I have had to tape a pick between my fingers to record guitar tracks because I can't hold little objects right now. My hands have been giving me a pretty hard time for the last few weeks. The weather is making it rough on me also. The drastic changes in temp. also set me back.

Stay positive and don't forget to smile.
Catch ya soon,
CC
