Ok, so I got done with work around 9:30 and when I checked my phone, I had a text message from a good friend of mine, Joey Ranalli, asking if I wanted to come down to the pennyroyal for open mic...needless to say, I was stoked to go. Joey is a good friend of mine, and we have such a good musical chemistry. We can feel each other, and read each others intentions by way of how we move in our music.
When I got down there he was waiting, and so was the cafe. I plugged in, and away we went. Improv chord progression, and improv lyrics, we do what we do well...we create music.
Joey is truly a talented person of musical magic. On a previous occasion where we were able to just sit, kick back, and play music freely, one of my best friend's sister was there, and she was SO convinced that we were playing rehearsed music....but she was in utter shock when she learned that I was just playing free chord progression, and he was creating lyrics on the spot. I can't tell you how intimidating it is to stand next to someone of such musical genius as is Joey.
On a positive note, I am learning the comforts of open guitar, under the veil of eyes that is the world audience; I hope to be able to stand, breath in, and in turn release the musical vision I feel is stirring within me, the movement of my soul, and the smile it brings to my heart...and hopefully to yours too...
God Bless...

Reaching out to you...if you want to be reached....
This is for you...because somewhere in the world I live in, I know you live too. Lost from everything, and yet hopefully found, I shall wait. God keep you, for God loves you...as do I...

I'm so sad that I didn't come. It sounds like a blast. Thanks for the invite though. Hopefully next time I'll be there.
Wish we could've been there too. I always knew you were musical...don't compare yourself to Joey. He might be great, but you are amazing! I know this first hand.
