One Foot in the Past: a Playlist
Time runs through our fingers like water, and the harder we try to hold onto it, the quicker it goes. This is something everyone has to come to terms with, but music has always been there. It holds the mystic cords of memory in place, and can bring us back to a time long past with a single note. In fact, research into neuroplasticity and music suggests that music therapy could alleviate some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

A Caledonian Collection
Introduction I have just finished watching the excellent BBC series "Guilt" with Mark Bonnar which is mostly set in Edinburgh (where I passed through yesterday and have shared a few stories about), but the last three episodes played out with instrumental sequences from some classics by Scottish bands and singers.

Rick Henry Christopher: A Rock and Roll Road Trip
I have written/compiled many song lists for publication on Vocal. I usually put a lot of research into my lists. For some I've done extensive fan polling. On average I spend about two to three weeks putting my song lists together.

Soundtrack Of My Life
Music has always been an influential force in my life. I love to sing, I love to play instruments, I love to dance, and I love the way it can be used as a storytelling medium. Musical scores and movie soundtracks fascinate me. The way songs are picked, written, and curated in such a way that conveys the emotions and trajectory of the narrative is an art form in and of itself. Making playlists for TTRPG characters, writing projects, or even just different moods and stages of life to provide inspiration and energy has become something of a hobby for me as well as an essential part of my creative process.

A Guilty Pleasures Playlist
Introduction I am listening to the album "Collaborations Don't Work" by FFS. You see FFS and think, or well I do, "For F*cks Sake" but this is a Franz Ferdinand / Sparks collaboration and very good it is too while I think being steered by the Mael Brothers with the excellent angular sound of Franz Ferdinand I do love it.

Seashell Sforzando
When I was growing up, most of the music that I listened to was country music because of my location and the type of family that I grew up in, and the song for country music that became popular in 2004 was Mr. Mom by Lonestar with this cute cartoon video of a Dad who realizes that the work a mother puts into raising her children. Back when we were first starting to introduce the concept of having a stay at home father.

A Life of Music
I feel that I'm only alive because of music. Let me explain, most of us love music and a lot of us feel like we're the only one's that experience music on a deeper level than most. But I can honestly say that music affects me so deeply that it has literally saved my life on a number of occasions, I have suffered from depression for as long as I can remember and I remember the feeling of wanting my life to end around the age of 15. At that time I was on my way to becoming the artist I am today and doing so with my music always in the room or on the go, (it was 1984 so yeah, I had a boom box don't judge.). I had to have it on all the time no matter what to the point that it made my parents crazy, even though it was really their fault. I grew up with my mother playing Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", Chicago's Greatest Hits or James Taylor all over the house, while in the garage on any given Friday or Saturday night, my father would be listening to Merle Haggard, Waylon & Willie, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones or he would have WYSO radio playing bluegrass. I loved all of it and I couldn't get enough of it.
