And I didn’t want to leave….. If you told me 2 years ago that I would end up having a home away from home that I didn’t want to leave in Washington DC, I would have seriously doubted the claim. However, the Mansion has turned into just that. Our time in the District last week [...]
Many miles have passed. I’m on a couch in my favorite little sitting area at the Mansion on O street. I love it here. As always we were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and I got a kick out of watching Brian’s head keep turning at all the things there are to [...]
Back at Murphy’s Bar last night. I wrote a bit about it last June when WW, Jimmy, Ray and I played with steel guitar ( and every other kind of guitar it turns out) wizard Eric Lewis for a rousing, rabid, Memphis crowd. It was awesome. I should have known, but I really had no [...]
That’s what Drew Kennedy called her and I agree. The video below was created by 11 year old Lindsey. I don’t know her last an or where she lives but I like her taste in music and her video is inspiring. Why is it inspiring? Because it makes me want to create. People creating inspires [...]
The other day I was spending a little time on Facebook. I saw a link that my friend Bob Doyle posted to something called The Passion Test. Bob and I are often talking about living life from your passions and have both spent time coaching other people to do so. I generally feel like I [...]
I love technology. I’m a closet computer geek. I love the tools man. However, there are some drawbacks. Beyond the “falling down the rabbit hole” trouble with surfing the web and losing hours of your life, there is also the danger of losing your life’s work. No, this isn’t going to be a tirade about [...]
Like the song says, “Mostly I want to know that there’s gonna be a next time”. Last Tuesday, I woke up anxious. There were questions, and not particularly useful questions, running through my brain. I was sleepy. I was jumpy. Agitated. I guess it makes some sense. Later that evening I was scheduled to play [...]
In September of 2000, I released the first ever Bill Small record, “Singin“. I’d been involved in a couple of records and a cassette tape (showing my age) with bands before that, and I think “Singin” was the end product of the 90′s for me. All the musical roads I’d been down in my first [...]
“It’s not the world’s fault you want to be an artist, now shut up and get back to work.” First of all, watch this…… Creativity. If you haven’t noticed, it’s a subject I’m very interested in. I love this video with Elizabeth Gilbert. I read her book, ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ several months agao and found [...]
I’m in a coffee shop doing some work with my friend and marketing guru Bryant Jones and I’m writing this post…. on my phone!! I love this stuff. Bryant and I are putting the finishing touches on the web page for my new seminar, The Artistry of Life. Alan Ray and I will be conducting [...]
