Life is full of changes. Since my last blog, there have been many, many changes in my life. So 2 days after my last blog (09/07/2013) I got hired at a company that is an "Authorized AT&T Re-seller" that has over 45 stores spread across 7 states. I work in the corporate office here in Boise. It is very laid back, and I have enough screen space that it sometimes feels like Tank (from the MATRIX). It is a full time gig so it's nice to have a steady income again. I'm still licensed to sell insurance so if you need a quote, by all means, give me a call! |

Musically, I have actually been very, very busy. It is true that I am no longer a part of "the ROXTAR Project", and I'm totally OK with that because I got something better and closer to 'home'. So the worship team at my church has been going through some transitions, so being available, I have pretty much played something different from one Sunday to the next depending on what's needed. In this I have started playing bass and realized, I like it! (Through trading and selling I managed to acquire this nice 5 String Ibanez (pictured left)
Of course as you know, I'm a drummer. I drum. Drumming is what I do, and it's what I still do. So a friend of mine asked if I wanted to sit in with her to showcase her album at a small local venue. Any chance to play, I jump at it. We played last month, had a blast, and will be playing again this month!
The big deal is a band that I auditioned for.
So I answered a CraigsList ad for a Christian band that was looking for a drummer. Most of the time these ads are high school kids with a great heart, but not what I'm looking for. Anyways, I go audition, first sign is a good thing sing the vocal/guitar guy is a worship pastor at the church we practice at, and he has a beard that can go head-to-head with Duck Dynasty any day. The second thing was the songs I auditioned with were contemporary worship songs that I played at church that morning, or hear on the radio all the time. It is great to play with like minded Christians that still know how to rock!
I just realized I never posted this, so I'm sorry for the delay, it's only about 8 months late...more to come soon!
