Time travel, Kyle Patrick, Henry David Thoreau, and Old Greg

My next adventure:

Henry David Thoreau wrote the classic "Walden's Pond" while living in a tiny cabin cabin just north of Boston, on the philosohphy that one could live minimalistically, with no excess.  

Kyle Patrick, the singer of my band and I were chatting over a few beers and Singapore, and were discussing different theories of songwriting, when we suddenly felt the urge to time travel, to a place with no technology, where it was just us verses nature, and hopefully inspire ourselves to write timeless songs.  

So today, we're driving deep into the woods to live in a cabin for three days with nothing but our guitars.  I'm prepared to hunt, start fires, bathe in lakewater,carve a tree into a canoe, befriend a grizzly bear named Rick and ask him to help us cook meals and do dishes, and go fishing... as long as I don't catch Old Greg (please research on You Tube).... ALL in hopes that some good songs will come out of this mayhem... 

Before we begin out time travel, I would like to turn the blog over to a very special friend and guest, Mr. Kyle Patrick:

We began today with homemade potato pancakes, bacon, eggs, and mandarin oranges. My mom hooked it up. When we leave my house, things will change. We will have to search for our food, fish, hunt, whatever it takes to be nurished. This trip is going to be great, because all we REALLY need in life is food, shelter, love, and music. We don't need computers, we don't need cellphones, we don't need mass amounts of clothing. We love those things, but it's good to have a reality check sometimes. 

Good day to everyone, and take a moment to think about all the things you have and are excited about. We'll be doing the same, and writing music in the process. 

Have a great day! I'm Old Greg!
