The Abyss

















Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm 24 hours away from having no more work booked... the earliest on the horizon is (gasp!) January 2010 - and that's assuming the Artist in the Schools Program survives, and I win a grant (hopefully more than one...) That said, I do have money in the bank, and most people would love to be in my position - extended time off! For me the fears of the Abyss are about not having an intense and fulfilling focus, being lonely, getting bored or depressed. This chant was inspired by a friend who took me out to dinner last night for a "Night Before the Abyss" celebration. Some of the things I plan to fill the Abyss with include working on a CD will full arrangements of my songs, playing percussion in a new band that's just forming, studying music theory, becoming more proficient with performing live using the RC-50 looper, and growing body percussion skills.

LYRICS:

I'm standing on the edge of the abyss
remembering that it could be filled
with unexpected bliss
I am gonna jump right in
sustained by spirit and good friends

1..2..3..4..
