My Dream

O, to be a musician. To focus on the stuff that matters to me. That is my dream. This weekend my wife asked me what my dream job would be. I said "to be a musician". (oddly enought my friend E asked me the same thing two days later). You know to do something in the music industry. To sit down and jam all day. To write new songs. To play with the tones that make your tummy twitch, your eyes water, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You know I hear about these people doing this stuff full time. And making a living at it. I am so envious.
This past week I discovered David Crowders new site called acollisioniscoming. On this page are three links that have rather intregued me. The first is hidden behind the picture of the squiggles? It is really four webcams from David Crowders new barn. Here you can watch the band record their new album. Then you find a link called Blog 1. This is the bands blog page (rather cool). Then you have Blog 2.. which happenes to be David Crowders blog (super cool).
O, to jam all day.

FYI I am in the process of creating a new song out of an old one. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. You all know this song. This has been my daughters favorite song for a long time now. So as I was reading through David Crowders book A Praise Habit it came to me. Why not rewrite the song using psalms and such. So I have the foundation laid down. Now to reseach and write some lyrics. I will have to find a way to record this and post it here online when I am done. My aim is to make this into a praise song that would be free for the use of anyone. I may even do it legally through creative commons.
Til then.. I will dream of being a professional musician.
