Concept? Yes. Concept Album? Maybe not so much.

On February 5th of this year, I turned 30. It wasn't a huge deal to me, but it's the kind of event that makes one reflect on things. The state of his life, love, and pursuit of happiness, for example. I came to the conclusion that I have a wonderful life. If you're reading this, you're probably one of the reasons that my life is so great. In the love department, I'm doing pretty well too. I live with the two most beautiful women in the world. Only one of them wears Huggies, so that's a plus.

I'm not exactly sure what the "pursuit of happiness" actually means, but making music has always made me happy. With that in mind, I decided to start a music project for my 30th year. I'm going to write twelve original songs, one each month, as a kind of musical retrospective on this first part of my life. Each one will attempt to address a moment from the last 30 years.

Maybe. I don't know how it will turn out. In fact, I'm relatively certain that I won't make any of my self-imposed deadlines or reach any goals of quantity/quality. I reserve the right to change the rules at any time. That's right. It's my show.

I only have one request for the listeners: PLEASE don't make any positive comments about the music unless you actually like what you hear. This really isn't a fishing expedition. I'm sharing it with you because you mean something to me and I thought you might be interested in how I'm spending my late nights. I sincerely hope you like it, but that's not really the point. Again, I'm not looking for compliments on the quality of the recordings or my (admittedly awesome) guitar/keyboard/vocal skills.

Oh yeah, not so crazy about negative comments either.
