Kirt and I started this band, at least it's first incarnation (which is the long way of saying it was just us) somewhere around 1996. We wrote songs without music. We sang at the top of our lungs and dreamed of being as big as the Rolling Stones. We had concerts, gave interviews and toured extensively. But in reality, no one knew us and we couldn't play or sing a note. Only we knew the potential. Only we knew the music was embedded in our hearts and our souls. Where others heard noise, we heard a symphony. And so it began all those years ago; and so it continues today. At this point in our lives however we are a little more well known, I've learned to sing a note or two and Kirt is now a master at his trade. Since those days in the mid 90's we've come quite a ways. We've been on T.V, we've sold a few songs to publishers and we even scored a small record deal, but it has yet to feel complete. Lately however, and maybe this comes from my having young children, I just can't help but look back at those two young kids who were really nothing short of terrible. There was no way anyone but us could have seen any talent there. We did though, and I guess that's all that mattered. Believing in ourselves and all that garbage. Now I see my own children and I want THEM to believe in themselves that much. I want them to live up to their full potential and become someone they can be proud of. Perhaps the years and harsh realities of life have somehow softened me. I've come to the point where I don't only wish the best for my own family, but mankind as a whole. I want others to be inspired in much the same way that Kirt and I were all those years ago. Which brings me to the point of this blog and really this whole website. I've spent a lot of time taking from this world so perhaps it's time to give something back. Kirt and I, and now the rest of December's Children have a dream to foster creativity in others. We plan on using our talents to help others create like we have for over two decades now. It is my sincere hope that along the way as we meet new people that we can share that spark that ignited us. And so yes, twenty years later, it begins...again.
