You all know that I love Apple Inc. I love Macintosh computers, iPods, the whole bit (though the jury still out on the iPhone). But alas the halo has dimmed. The angel’s wings have been clipped.

You see, this past Sunday, an accident of freakish proportions happened. Lyndsay had sat the Macbook down and walked away. The place where she sat it was below a book shelf upon which sat a speaker system. Somehow (possibly invisible goblins) some books that were on the shelf with the sub woofer fell over and pushed the sub woofer off the shelf and onto the Macbook shattering the screen.

This is a music video for the song “Again & Again” by The Birds and The Bees (I never heard of them either) that was made completely on a Mac. What I mean is all of the effects and camera shots were created using applications that come natively on a Mac. It obviously took a lot of time to make this. I am impressed (though only with the video; the song just ain’t my style).

I have been fortunate once again to receive an invitation from my old friend Matt Evans to play with him at yet another gig. This time we will be taking another trip down Florida way to play for a Panama City beach retreat. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of joining Matt and Clay at the beach for some singing, sun and fun.

When I started playing guitar at the ripe age of fourteen, my goal was to be the best guitar player at my school. Within my first year I began learning some very difficult songs. I also learned solos by Jimi Hendrix and Slash which took me tedious hours to get them down pat. Once I reached college I started playing only Christian music with a band called Mordecai’s Courage. The music we began to write together was of a different nature than what I had grown up learning. It was more melodic and did not require so much of the “shredding” and rippin’ blues licks that I was used to. This proved to be a challenge for me but over time I was able to change my style in order to accommodate the alternative rock that MC was creating. By the time MC called it quits around 2003 I had become quite comfortable with playing more melodious lead guitar.
