Happy day all...it's great to be alive, and I'm working hard to keep improving my mind, body, and spirit each and every day. Making music fulfills so many aspects of my life, whether it be teaching, performing, recording or writing. My musical journey began years ago when I was introduced to Led Zeppelin by some of my older role models, more specifically my father and Uncle Mick. Fortunately for me, they had a great ear for music :) Things may have been different had they been listening to MmmmBop instead. Lol.
Over the years, Led Zeppelin has always been a part of my musical life, so I finally took the plunge and decided to record one of their songs. It's a monumental task when you take on Zeppelin, given their uncanny ability to create amazing songs, not to mention trying to match the vocal prowess of one Robert Plant. I spent a great deal of time in the studio working on "Going to California," by far my favorite Zeppelin song. I tried to take a different approach to this song with the Ukulele. I wanted to bring a little different feel to the song with the instrumentation so we approached it with percussion, ukulele and piano. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and hope you'll take a second to listen.
Next task at hand...choosing my next song. I've spend a lot of time writing original material lately, so that's most definitely an option as well, but I'm still torn on a cover song. Maybe we'll throw away the road map on this one and try something completely obscure and different. In the meantime, I'll continue to write and create, learn and listen.
