My god time has gone by fast lately! Whew! What a whirlwind these days... Yes... I'm still around and I do even try to check up with my fellow POP'sters when I can but time just seems to be increasingly elusive to me at this moment in my life. I literally have every minute of my life scheduled from 6am to 9pm every single day. ugh!! In spite of that... I've been staying up late hours some nights trying to keep these Soul Summation songs coming. And honestly... making music is my stress reliever. ;) This latest one, "Contact", came into existence the day after my father successfully came through major heart surgery - a little less then a month ago. We stayed at the hospital that entire day and there were times where I could truly feel my fathers presence next to us giving us comfort and letting us know he was ok. It was... intense… on many different levels. And I wanted to capture all those feelings somehow in music form. I hope I did it justice. My father is now doing fine and recovering nicely. In other endeavors, my wife and I have started on a collab together and I hope to get some lyrics written for that work soon so I can finally capture her singing in a Soul Summation song once more. ;) (the first and only one where she sings actual words is the song Touch). Also, our new deck is now complete and is truly a wonderful spot to enjoy life and nature… 500 square feet of beautiful decking underneath the branches of a large sweeping willow tree and overlooking the overflowing garden. Couldn’t be happier with it. :) For those thinking of writing me, please do. I miss hearing from you all and sincerely regret not being here as much as I used to. I miss the chats and the posts and all that… but I just haven’t got the time for it at the moment. :( Please know I am thinking of you all. YKB Ben
