1st Blog why is the album called bucketlist?

I did it, My Website is up, my album is out and my name is out there...

At the end of the day I appreciate all the feedback and responses I got to my album release.  It means a lot to me to have loyal fans and people who know the words to my music, or make hikes out to Worcester on a Monday night to support my show.  A lot of people have asked me what my inspiration is for calling the album "Bucket List".  There is really a long version and a short version to the story...

If you don't know what a Bucket List is, its a list of all the activities you want to do before you die.

I've been playing music for about 10 or 11...or 12...or a bunch of years.  Having my own album as you could guess was a major goal of mine and one of the top accomplishments to put on my own personal "Bucket List".   Thats the short story...

The long story is that I've always believed my life would be measured at the end, by what I have left behind.  The people I've affected negatively or positively.  By the mark that I made in the world.  Essentially a lot of people think our life is over when we die...or YOLO as they say.  but I've always believed that we can live on long after we die by leaving a trail for others to see or follow.  Bucket List is my trail...My Journal...My passion.  Its what I leave behind, its my mark, and its what makes my life eternal.  My CD is gonna be alive long after I'm gone.

I like to hope this isn't my last album...and I'm not saying I want to die any time soon.  But having it out, means that I've done it, I'm on the map.  

EXTRA INFO: My next Album's Working Title is "Sway The Stars".

Would love to hear from you guys!

Sincerely,
