Goodbye & Hello

Hey guys,

Yes...it's been too long since my last update. So this might come in a little tardy...but I hope everyone's had a wonderful Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day:-)
So I've just got back from my annual solo trip to somewhere in seek of solitude, downtime, self-reflection, you know the drill...lol. Indeed. 2007 has been such an intense, exhausting yet self-fulfilling year for me, so much to digest. Stuck through the guts and dove headlong through the changes and challenges. The thought provoking part is, so....what next? This is one of those periods where I get a little of that panic attack, as the dust settles, you start to think how to raise that sand storm within your life again, yet your mind is a blank sheet of converse, you wonder if you can paint another picture out of nothing.
Nevertheless, there are still things to be done, songs to be sung and most importantly, a concert coming up on the 4th of March in Hong Kong! My first ticket selling one! I am extremely psyched for it. Took quite abit of energy to kick start my gear as we started rehearsals two days after I came back from my self indulgent trip..but the feeling was still...wow... It's an amazing feeling when you actually get to run through your whole list of songs over the last 10 years. Through these songs, you feel like you're walking down a memory lane, reliving some poignant moments in your life, realizing how much you've evolved as a musician and as a person, and even notice how your vocals have taken on a life of it's own. The old songs will never sound the same again, as you can never bring back that innocence and simplicity that you once had. Yet, there is a chance to breathe new life to them with what you feel and who you've become till now. That's what I really love about this upcoming concert. The musicians are amazing too...I think I have a really wonderful team of players who just came into the room and rocked the house down. There was this sense of unspoken chemistry from the first note we played. The most fun part were the times when the groove went out of the pocket or felt out dated, we would replay them again, improvise on the spot and suddenly get a brand new vibe to the song. I can't help but to gush over them ..

So, that's it! Time is ticking and I guess I'll see you guys at the finishing line!

Peace, light and love,
T
