Hi. How’s it going? 

So yeah, Game of Thrones is back and I’m pretty excited! I want to share some thoughts with you about the season-eight premiere. But mostly I want to tell you about the live performances I have…

Last year — 2018 — I challenged myself to write two songs each month. I was ahead of schedule for most of the year. But then somewhere around the middle of…
