Keep your head up!!


If you read many stories in my blog, you know I don't ramble about the music business much. I basically post whatever is on my mind and I am not going to change that. It is important to not focus on the negative factors of the music business, but remain aware of them. Enjoy the journey and don't worry about the potholes. Like I have always said, if it was easy, anyone could do it.

This is your dream, you didn't choose it...it chose you. I have often said that I sometimes wish my dream was to be a doctor. It's simple! 1. Go to school. 2. Get a Doctorate degree 3.Pass all your tests...BOOM!! You're a Doctor.

But I am a songwriter. That's the dream that has been floating in my head since I first laid hands on my Bugs Bunny guitar at the age of 2. The good news is it can be as simple or as hard as you want it to be. I choose to focus on the good and try to write good music. Worry only blocks creativity and creativity is a songwriter's fuel.

Peace and joy,

Phil

Quote of the year...

“Be not the judges of men, but love your brothers and sisters, and find ways to reach out to them in common goals and aspirations. Where there is love in common, the divisions of creed will melt away and reveal the true nature of man’s eternal destiny -- one of unity in purpose, to be perfect as the Father is perfect."
