Well, it's been a few very bad months for me. The love of my life died at 40 years of age. My wife Monica was killed by Mookie Blaylock on May 31 just 9 days after our 14th wedding anniversary. For those who haven't seen the news reports, he was high on drugs and passed out at the wheel, crossed the median at 80 miles an hour and slammed into us right after we took off from a traffic light. I am and have been lost without her. I have the responsibility of taking care of our four children to keep me on my toes, yet I cannot walk and now almost 4 months later still cannot walk. As far as music is concerned, I have started back recording music and have made another video cover of Anathema's Dreaming Light, a song that makes me think of Monica. The second video is one of the new songs I have written. Enjoy and please like and comment.

a trying year

2011 HAS BEEN A TRYING YEAR FOR ME. 1ST PART OF THE YEAR, MY BAND INCARCERI 9 LOST ALL ITS MEMBERS SAVE ME. THAT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT POSITIVE, BUT IT WAS STRESSFUL. 2ND PART WAS FACING A CHANGE IN MY EMPLOYMENT SITUATION LEADING ME AND MY FAMILY HALF WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO DALLAS TX. THAT IS JUST NOW STARTING TO CALM DOWN AND WE HAVE A PLACE AND I AM PUTTING MY STUDIO BACK TOGETHER. THE LAST PART IS THAT MY MOTHER DIED JUST A FEW DAYS AGO AND I AM EXTREMELY SAD. NOW I HAVE NO PARENTS LEFT.

The confusion lifts and the path layed clear

HELLO ALL WHO ARE LISTENING. INCARCERI 9 AS IT ONCE WAS, FOR NOW IS NO MORE. I AM CONTINUING WRITING AND RELEASING TRACKS AND MUSIC FOR IT MYSELF. SO, I9 IS  NOT DEAD, AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE. I HAVE JUST RECORDED AND RELEASED A NEW SONG FOR AN UPCOMING CD. YOU CAN GET IT NOW THOUGH HERE. THE NAME OF THE NEW TUNE IS SOULESS DESTINY. THERE WILL BE MORE SONGS TO COME, BUT INCARCERI 9 ISN'T A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY WITH ME. WHEN I RELEASE ENOUGH SONGS, I WILL ASSEMBLE THEM INTO AN ALBUM AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE AS WELL. IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW, I WILL REASSEMBLE A LIVE BAND TO PLAY I9 SONGS LIVE AGAIN, UNLESS I STILL FEEL MISANTHROPIC TOWARDS MUSICIANS AT THAT TIME :)

AS FAR AS THE FIRST MORKTRA CD, IT IS BEING DONE, BUT AS I FEEL LIKE GETTING TO IT. ALL SONGS ARE WRITTEN FOR IT AND WILL BE AVAIABLE HERE, WHEN I AM DONE WITH EACH ONE, AND THEY TOO WILL BE ASSEMBLE INTO A PROPER ALBUM AND RELEASED WHEN DONE.

I AM STARTING COLLEGE NEXT MONTH, SO I WILL NOT BE PLAYING MANY GIGS, IF ANY GIGS AT ALL. IF I DO PLAY ONE OR TWO IT WOULD BE A SOLO MORKTRA SHOW. SO, HEY, WISH ME LUCK IN SCHOOL.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME VIDS IVE DONE SINCE I LAST POSTED HERE
