Super cool =), I've just started with music again over the last few months..played for years (guitar/piano), very suddenly stopped 5-6 years ago..kept writing lyrics, nothing to go with em'. I woke up one day recently and ran across an old mix CD that I've had since i was a kid, first track on it was Sublime's Brad Nowell doing an acoustic rendition of "foolish fool". First, i teared up a little bit, dude was a local celebrity when I was a kid, think i was around 5-6 when he died..but it was like i got this rush of ideas and chords came flooding back to me and this part of my brain just like..completely opened up like it had never been locked away. Kinda like waking up with a good idea :p, thanks brad. I practically ran for the acoustic my mom bought for me a few years ago in hopes I'd start playing again, the case was completely dust covered. I pulled it out and was able to play the entire song without the aide of google, then i started remembering all kinds of shit, then i started singing my own words while strumming..singing while i play still sounds raw, kind of like a homeless guy in venice beach trying to make a buck with the handful of full songs he knows..but i'll be damned if it's almost as if i'd been playing this whole time. I'm hoping to get my vocals in sync with my playing so i can get away with telling people that I never stopped playing. Sorry for the mini novel, you inspired me to write a lil bit on here for the first time in a while :p.

By the way, I'm curious about this hand puppet.
