as wonderful and truly exciting your contribution to music has, and remains to be,your blogs are so heartfelt and genuine they are always a joy to read.if only other musicians would take their head from up their arse.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous -- always a joy to read your blogs. And when you said in your Postcard from Holland post that you'd tell us all about it, you weren't kidding... you indeed told us ALL about it! Amazing story, made even more amazing by the fact that you take the time to tell it!
ReplyDeleteWow Adrian! What an amazing time this is for you. I can say it has been such a treat to watch your story unfold from the first time Tom brought me to see "Adrian" at Cov. Cath. till now. You were our rock star even then though. Congrats and I can't wait to see/hear the end result.

Oh, Ade… Isn’t this just how life goes? When you least expect it, life bestows upon us such wonderful gifts. Kinda like finding $20 in your pants pocket after doing laundry, only much sweeter. Just remember this – you will be joined in spirit by us many other musical types who are just as confused by those dots & squiggly lines.
ReplyDeleteThis is no accident. This way totally meant to be. Thanks for “letting it be”.
