"Full Steam Ahead Into The Tunnel"

Does it ever seem like the tunnel seems far ahead and that your never gonna get there? All I can say to that is to keep a chugging down the tracks and stay focused and you will eventually get where you want. Music is the same way, sometimes you know where you want to go, but we don't always know all the right steps in order to get there until we are almost there. But somehow, I can't say how it happens, but everything just seems to fall in line when it is time miraculously. So all I can say is to just keep pushing forward and do not hesitate with your movement forward into the future with your creativity.

Sincerely,

R Frederick

"Lyrics With The Right Emotion"

Well its been awhile since my last blog, so here is something to get this thing going once again. A few months back I met a gentlemen by the name of Glen that had gone through a fight with breast cancer with his Aunt. He had written a song called "I Bleed In Pink For You" and said that he would love to be able to get the song into the hands of Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure. So ironically my friend Tighe was actually in the process of working on a different project with Susan G. Komen, so when he heard this, he knew that this must of been a sign that day of this meeting. I later met up with the artist, Gunner Glen, and we sat down and listened to the music that he had been reciting the lyrics to, but it was just lacking the right emotion that he was wanting to convey. So we set out to write new music that would compliment the strong message in his words. Thus creating the emotional ride to let the message truelly sing. This just goes to show that without the right music, the words can not always live on their own with the wrong music.

With Growth,

R. Frederick
