Here Comes the Overture

To whom it may concern:

This is my foray into the realm of blogging. I know. I'm really getting into this trend on the ground floor, huh? Yeah, well, I've never been a fan of blogging and similar exercises in vanity.

So, then...

Why am I doing this? I've begun to realize blogs do have utility for someone like me. I think I'm doing this to improve my communication [interpersonal rapport] with friends, family, and the world[?]. I'm doing it to let people know I do things and I am interested in stuff [and I'm still alive].

Will it work? I don't know. Hopefully, I will be coming at you with music and fun. And if you're not careful, you might learn something before it's done.

Why "here comes the coda"? I don't know that either. A musician will tell you that a coda is the last passage of a musical movement or composition. The dictionary will tell you it's also the conclusion or closing part of a statement. While I could try to spin up a metaphor to tie the blog title to some deeper meaning [The end is near!], I'll just be honest: "here comes the coda" is a line from a song I like, and it's sung just before the song's coda. Brilliant!

If I can actually stay committed to this blog, I'll be interested to see what direction it takes. I do not intend on using this forum as a personal journal. I would even get bored reading about my life. But I think I [as well as others] might learn something about me through my commentary on the "things and stuff" that I find interesting. For now, I plan to focus on fun stuff and good times. Coming attractions include: new music [some good ol' indie rock and even some METAL!], homebrew, and SXSW. Buckle up, kids.

So, without further ado . . . here comes the coda.
