Babies change life. Perspectives widen. Priorities shift. Free time shrinks. Music takes a back seat.

Now throw in an extensive relocation. Priorities shift again. Free time vanishes. Music is shoved further back, into the trunk.

So, in order to make music these days, I have to stop the car, get out, and walk back to where the music is stowed, sacrificing progress on the endless road of high-priority items.

Time has become a precious commodity. That I have allocated any time at all to music this year is a testament to just how much music means to me. I love making it, I love listening to it, and I love thinking about it. I even dream about it!

These songs (all instrumentals) act as my musical diary. They capture how I felt at the time, whether it was relaxed, energetic, confused, impatient, happy, gloomy, clumbsy, or proud. Lots of ups and downs.

More big changes are ahead. More ups and downs. And more music!
