My favorite books are "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. Where I grew up, in Kindergarden we would sit in circles singing Joni Mitchell songs....as I continue to learn, so much of who we are, what we see, what we are blind to, and what we believe to be possible is deeply rooted in the beginning of our journeys....this of course is nothing new, it just feels more and more real to me as I go further into my own travels through life, love and music. There are also moments in our lives that forever change our paths, our purpose...there are people in our lives that do not merely walk by us in the wake of our shadows. It all matters...and it all hurts...and it all, every piece of this life blows my mind every day.....so I write...so I open the window and sit in the hazy gaze of the midnight black with my bare feet sliding on the cold wood floor of my living room and I curl over the piano to try and make sense of it all. Maybe, sometimes it's not supposed to make sense, or maybe it is. I hope the music and my passion for it will speak for itself and that you are thankful for letting me be a small piece of your journey. That means something to me, beyond the success of what may come my way, in the end it is about the music, the connection, the seeking of answers and comfort in all the questions that haunt us and move us forward. I dont' need to state all I have done, or where i have played and how long and how blah blah...just let this moment be enough....at least that's what I try and tell myself.....There is so much more to come...Peace, JAKE
