My Blessing

Three days a week I wake to take care of my sister. The divide between us is not very large. And since my mother's move to her heavenly home, our days and nights together have brought us even closer.

It's not a job, it's not a weight, it's a blessing. And it's reminded me of what a blessing it is to be a blessing to someone else.

Now that doesn't mean that I don't get tired, get short, or get on edge, but it does mean that I now live with a renewed purpose.

Love My Girl (Part 2)

Yeah, the same title... and remarkably some of the same emotions.

There's a warm feeling I get when taking a good look at my girl. She's spent her whole life with me, and it seems she's always been a part of it.

Her physical beauty seems to grow every day and is only rivaled by her internal beauty. Filled with compassion, her caring heart continues to touch those around her daily.

Her ability to appreciate art and the gift of creation has both stunned and excited me. Just being herself she is an inspiration to those around her.

My girl's getting older... and so am I. The warm feeling comes from watching her blossom and recognizing the gift I've been given. She graces my day.

Love my girl!

"POP" Dropping November 12, 2013

This project is a long time coming. These song have been written, re-arranged, and performed many times over the past few years. So finally, for all those who have been patiently waiting... it's here.

The name POP is an acronym for the 'Prince of Peace' story. The quest for a peaceful existence isn't only a holiday prayer, but it does seem to be a bit more prevalent during that time of year.

Three years ago the bug was put in my ear to record this collection. After many seasonal celebrations I even though it might finally be the right time.

The initial sessions, three years ago,  weren't very fruitful. Looking back I believe the vision was wrong... maybe even the timing was off a little.

So in November of 2012 a second set of sessions provided a much warmer and personal recording. As the sessions moved on life happened and shut down the project a few weeks before completion.

This past September provided the opportunity to complete the missing tracks and finish the project. A solo recording as it is, required some time to step back and allow the vibe to take roots. So the extended time span has really helped to keep a cohesive and spiritual element alive throughout the tracks.

O that this would bless you through the season and throughout the year.

Peace...

Pray on,
Eddy

Love My Girl

There's a warm feeling I get when taking a good look at my girl. She's virtually spent her whole life with me, and it seems she's always been a part of my life.

Her hearing is impaired and her sight is questionable. Her movements are measured and she negotiates the steps at a much slower rate than a few years ago. Her youthfulness has faded and her energy has dwindled. And though her howl is still strong, I get the feeling she feels a little weaker in every other aspect of her life.

My girl's getting older... and so am I. The warm feeling comes from knowing exactly how she feels.

Love my girl!
