This was recorded way back in 2006 in Stone Creek, Virginia at my friend Joe Fultz’s house two days before I went to live away from Lee County for the first time as I moved to Nashville for awhile. It was sort of a bittersweet moment because at the time, I honestly didn’t plan on […]
Gonna try something new this month. Hopefully it will be successful and will become an ongoing thing. One of the things I gained from my business degree was an appreciation of an emerging trend called “conscious capitalism” which seeks to integrate doing good deeds and community involvement into the daily practice of a business. I […]
I should preface this review by saying that I have known Keaton Lawson for over fifteen years. I should also mention that I am practically related to the man as he is engaged to my cousin, has lived in my house on several occasions, and was the dude who handed me the ring I slipped […]
I can conceive of no imaginable purpose for the meaning of man’s seemingly brief existence apart from community. My, my, my, what mighty big words you have, Rance Garrison. But I really can’t. It is for this reason that I have trouble with traditional notions of both religion and irreligion or secularism. So much of […]

Recently, I recommended the book Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God by Jack Miles to a friend. The truth is, I had never read it, but had read the first book in this two part series, God: A Biography by the same author. I knew that Christ would at the very least equal […]
I grew up poor. In a poor community. At twenty-seven I still am still considered poor. In a poor community. Of course, I should preface this by saying that this isn’t a cry for help, or for a handout, or for any other such thing. There seems to be at this time in America […]
Trichotomy Ladies and gentlemen, I humbly submit my first attempt at completely electronic music, “Trichotomy,” a brief three track EP that is now available on my Bandcamp page.
