It&#8217;s O dark 30 here in the studio and I&#8217;ve just finished up some finger style practice and writing time, so I wanted to end the night with a few words to the new blog.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Some of you may have noticed that the site has changed drastically in just a few short days..this due to an error that occurred in the old WordPress site. We were able to save a number of the files so we can reinstall them, but it seems a lot easier to just start over fresh with a new approach and new look.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>My wife and manager Pamela Pfalzbot has written up a real nice informational bio that will give you an idea of where I came from, where I am, and where I&#8217;m going. I&#8217;ve always looked at my career in music much in the same way a surfer looks at a wave they catch and ride. There&#8217;s been highs and lows and there have been near wipeouts. I&#8217;m still here riding the wave until the very end.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>I currently have well over 70 \u00a0songs that I am working on that are in various stages of completion. I&#8217;ve released tidbits and excerpts for some of these songs which can primarily be found on my YouTube channel and Reverb Nation account.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>My writing habits are such that I write songs to get a basic structure and then add parts such as rough guitar or keyboard solos. Writing the structure of a song doesn&#8217;t seem to take as long as coming up with a nearly completed song because I tend to try many versions of solos and commit them to memory before I set them aside for awhile, eventually revisiting them for further refinement.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>The &#8220;one man band&#8221; approach to all this is rather time consuming but it does help develop my level of skill and patience even further. It&#8217;s not like counting on other band members to get their parts right. I sometimes find myself wishing I could return to that type of situation but realize that it really isn&#8217;t as possible now as it was many years ago. So I have no one but myself to blame for not getting something accomplished. And I don&#8217;t give up easily on my music or myself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>In the very near future I am going to be starting to add vocals to many of my originals. This is something Pamela has tried to encourage me on for years. Oh I sing crazy little meaningless songs around the house. Always have and always will. As a full fledged band at one time, I actually did sing quite a bit in front of an audience, usually in a backing vocal type capacity. So apparently I do have some vocal capabilities although I&#8217;ve been more guitar oriented than a lead vocalist. But it is something I have to do and am getting more confident with Pamela&#8217;s infinite coaching.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Well, it will be another fun filled day tomorrow with some more musical experimentation on the agenda. I&#8217;m going to sign off and try to get a few hours of shut-eye before the sun rays filter in through the curtains letting me know I&#8217;ve pulled yet another all-nighter. Thanks for reading and thanks for listening. Peace and blessings to y&#8217;all!<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Gary<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Changes Hello everyone!
