9 Little Letters...

Equals a Dream Realized.

STARCHILD

A year ago March, my family and Floyd Kunz (the coolest guy I know, next to my dad, of course,) opened Starchild Guitar Studios & Artisan Guitar Works in Union Square (Sandy, Utah).  About a month ago, we felt that we had out grown our small space and went in search of a better and bigger home.  We were lucky enough to STAY in Union Square (9460 S. Union Square Suite 104, Sandy, UT 84070) and double our floor space!  The past few weeks have been spent sanding, painting (Cream in my Coffee, a most excellent Noir and a sticky sweet Red...), replacing carpet, building and transforming the space into a rock and roll heaven.

My contribution?  (Other than manning the long board?)  See for yourself:

Between myself being extra anal and the scale (the guitar is about 7 feet long) this took me about 12 hours to complete...

I can't wait for you all to come see it in person... 

What do you think?  ;)

Much Love,

Don't pretend...

After a terribly difficult week, crying so hard in the middle of my kitchen that I thought I never be the same, sheet rock dust mixed with tears, a little bit of bruising and divine intervention in the form of a four day trip to San Francisco, all I have to say is this:

Saving Grace

Take my hand, I know it doesn't seem enough for me to feel it

Understand

That I will never be the one who

Traps us in, I know it doesn't seem enough for us to keep it

Seize the day

When I will always be the one who...

Takes you for a ride and then decides

That it's not right to keep on like this

I will dismiss all the thoughts and feelings

That consume me

From the very start I saw the art

In painting everybody else to be

The savior of the world

You're my saving grace

You're my saving grace

Take my hand

And know that every second is forever

Don't pretend

That I would ever be the one who

Loses faith

In knowing that we'll always be together

Check my pulse

Cause I will always be the one who...

Takes you for a ride and then decides

That it's not right to keep on like this

I will dismiss all the thoughts and feelings

That consume me

From the very start I saw the art

In painting everbody else to be

The savior of the world

You're my saving grace

Stay with me late into this night

Lay with me, and I promise to make you feel...

You're my saving grace

And I'm not gonna lose you

Seriously, that's how I feel.  Lost and conflicted and angry and sad...and yet, pretty content...like I know: somehow, someday down the line, he'll get it.  I just pray that that day comes sooner than later.

Thanks, Crash Kings for making things a little bit better...
