this past year has brought a lot of personal turbulence.  with my mother and my father-in-law both being diagnosed with cancer, we’re not exactly sure how we all just got through it.  most recently, my sister-in-law’s parents were killed in their home in india.  the insanity and tragedy of such violence overwhelmed my entire family.  for sure, we’re all looking forward to the end of 2007.

with things finally settling down at home, i decided to get back to finishing my album.  everyday i sit down in the studio surrounded by my instruments and my notes hoping that my muse will find me once again.  no doubt, i’ve met her a few times in the last week.  she’s looking well.

the latest song i’m working on is called "i wonder" and it’s about the murders in our family.  i can’t help but cry each time i track the vocals or listen to the song from start to finish.  but i think those are the best pieces of art.  the ones that make you feel something in your most sacred spaces are the ones that are worth sharing.

when the album is done and you all get a chance to listen to it, i hope i can touch your hearts with this song.
