Full-Circle
Once again, it is I. Well this Friday, I set sail on my weekend getaway. I can feel the anticipation building inside, a familiar vibe, that hasn’t been felt for many summers.
That feeling of being open to creativity, preparing mentally, visualizing the possibilities. It rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?
When my wife showed me the Airbnb app, and said choose where you’d like to stay I was looking for something, folks.
These last couple of years has been a time of getting sober, finding faith, healing from addiction, discovering who I truly am.
Then getting another chance at writing again, and finding a creative family here at DU, that have been so supportive and inspiring. I’m convinced that the best version of me, is the current one.
However, there is one thing that I’ve missed so much. The feel and aura of a studio. A place that speaks of creativity, spontaneity, and living in the moment.
Where being unleashed, unfiltered, and raw are welcome attributes. While still being deliberately precise, cleverly calm, and open to my muse. Poetry in motion, folks.
There’s no studio at DeadLove Manor. It’s home to my family. We don’t have the space for creative sanctuary to be achieved on the grounds. I’m fine with that, I truly am.
Joey G, had space for a studio in his house. So that was where I cut my teeth on projects with him. We never had personal beefs in that room, it was treated with respect.
However creative debate was allowed and encouraged. Arguments took place in the kitchen or living room.
Fuck me, maybe I am superstitious. At the very least I’m superstitious by association. lol. I mean actions speak louder than words.
Anyways I was looking for a place that spoke to me, when I made my choice. The one I chose had a keyword in the add. Studio Apartment floor plan. “Studio.” Instant music to my ears.
Then I of course looked at the pictures, it had a welcoming vibe, folks. My imagination saw the possibilities, my muse and I approved, and it was booked.
I plan on treating it as my own personal studio for a weekend. It makes me smile inside and out to say that, people. I even plan on naming the place, in honor of this creative adventure. lol.
Ironically working on Backstage and talking music, I’m forever smitten. Everything comes full-circle it would seem. That’s how I feel anyways. Thanks for reading, folks. Peace, Love, and, Lennon.

I could feel the excitement through your words Damian on a sidenote, have you ever tried any of the apps such as 'Bandlab' and other similar ones you can get on your PC or tablet 🙃♥️
Thanks for reading and your kind words, Pete. So glad you connected with the story, my friend. For all my stuff on Backstage, I'm just using Garage Band. When I was creating at Joey G's studio, he used Logic Pro I believe. But he paid for that, it had Pro Tools applications and everything. It was a good setup he had. Appreciate you.
