Fun to relive old times & talented artists of our past/present/and hopefully future. We woulda never left Chicago without an old friends' music cheering us on...
Young Hines: Gimme My Change
Every time someone was in my car they would ask (more like scream), "WHO is this!?"
--He's our Nashville souvenir...and eventually a removed catalyst in our move to California. His music just shared so much emotion with how the days felt in Chicago, yet it was a reminder of the past and someone that I truly admired. I don't say that about many people, probably none. He didn't wait for someone to offer him a way to make his music. He just made it. He learned and challenged himself. He worked days at a time in his little home studio. He worked a day job to buy more and add to his studio. I completely adopted his model in Chicago. He renewed my spirit. He made me wanna dream differently. I buried myself in my work and continued to Fail With Pride (our other Nashville take-away). So when his album released...and it was speakin my language...and Chicago was completely shit, boiling over, and busting at the seams. I knew it was time for another lifetime adventure. I love every piece of California. And our amazing journey to get here. Even if I do miss all the amazing people that helped us get here. Every. Single. Day. But I'm so glad to have found home.
(I know, I know. The video of the move and our Route 66 is soooo far past due--but it's happening. I've been very busy setting up the small studio of my dreams. Workin. Testin. Workin some more. The Young Hines way... :D)
