PLEASE SCROLL down for VIDEO

Here's a little video dump of my brain frequencies lately. 

Just heres the bullet points on for Amateur Blonde music: 

The holidays were extraordinary this year. My first Christmas in Seoul. December was really cold in Seoul (5°F). We had lots of house guests, fancy meals, and joyous laughter. The holidays stir up deep emotions. It's hard to avoid reflecting on one's own life during this time. I feel very lucky to be alive most of the time. 

A milestone: I played my first band show in years at @space_hangang Dec, 23 2022. It was also my first show in Seoul with a drummer and bass player. We really rehearsed hard and the results were better than I could have imagined. I hope you can make it to the next show (if you live in Seoul). I'm writing the best songs of my life right now and getting ready to go into the studio with some new Korean bandmates. We got live multi-camera video of the event. The show went so well that it makes sense to WAIT to release this footage until after we have the studio recordings finished. I plan to go into the studio very soon. 

Everything is slower as I do my best to collaborate and communicate in Korean. 

My Korean language studies are slow going. I've been making big gains, but I'm still not able to have any 'deep' conversations. I can ask where the bathroom is, thank God. I keep coming back to the same thoughts of gratitude that I'm alive and able to experience the magical moment, but I do get lonely sometimes - not being able to communicate more than a caveman. I don't know where I'd be without my dearest wife, my songwriting, and my tiny dog, 'Sunny'.
