My Credo

Alan Paine Radebaugh is friend of mine who happens to be a kickbutt artist and good at just about anything he touches, so he makes jewelry and composes music when he's not like...painting fantastic things. Check out his website, you'll see. Anyway, I got my hot little hands on a copy of Alan's latest musical composition (probably because I'm special), and he begins with a Credo -- a short and sweet statement of what he believes in. It's beautiful. I wrote to tell him so, and that I thought it would be a good idea for every artist to begin their albums with their current life's Credo. And since it is 2 AM, I added in what my current Credo would be: I will not get tired of rice and beans Ever Well maybe I will But that's ok, I need to buy gear. Right. Not going on the new album. But I do have a real song I have been working on lately that I think might be my Credo. It goes like this: Put a new star on the flag For this brand new state I'm in It came in messy like a flood It's going down sweet like cinnamon And from here on out, this is how I am I am constantly in free fall Thanks to gravity and tides and words And the only one that gives me any weight at all Are the words And from here on out, this is how I am It's not done, but I hope it will be some day. What's your Credo?
