Do you need that caffeine jolt first thing every day? Do you have a morning ritual? Well, it’s no secret that I am a coffee fiend, so first thing every morning I have to have my java. You might also say I have a regular morning ritual where coffee plays a huge part.

“And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari,
Tehachapi to Tonopah.
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made.
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed.
And if you give me…Weed, whites and wine,
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’…To be movin’ “
Willin’, Little Feat, 1971

If You Let Me…

I wrote some lyrics this morning which I’ve tentatively titled “If You Let Me.”
I read “No Booker, No Bouncer, No Bartender” by Shannon Curtis a couple of months ago and thought it was a great book for Indie musicians. This week I finally received Amanda Palmer‘s “The Art of Asking,” am about half-way through it, and, likewise, I think Ms. Palmer’s book is a great read for an Indie musician.
