I married into Music

     Some women marry into money. I married into music, good music at that. The first time I met Paul Cannon he attempted to serenade me with his guitar and singing skills :-) Though he was a little drunk and off key, I could hear that there was talent inside.... little did I know that this man would become my life and I would watch him grow and flourish as a musician over the next 7 years. 
 
Brett Dennen – Wednesday September 21stBrett has headlined every major city in the United States, Europe and Australia and has been hand-picked by a "who's who" of his contemporaries including John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews and O.A.R. to support tours. This is a MUST SEE SHOW.

      There is a stigma placed on male musicians...that a grown man should have a steady paying job. And as most musicians know... it is a long road to steady paying gigs. I am aware that my family and friends do not quite understand why I am working and why Paul is staying home with Ash and pursuing his love for music. (I would like to add, as any stay at home parent knows, it is a job in itself to be with your child all day and Paul does a lot more than just "music")
 But.... I am a believer in dreams and that a life lived outside of doing what we love is a life of shallow sadness. I knew I married into music and that means more than waking up to and falling asleep to constant melody and guitar picking... it meant scrapping by and saving date night for local shows to be there and support Paul. It means late nights in the studio, it will probably mean me staying home to continue working while Paul and band have their 1st tour.... but it also means...
Ash will grow up seeing that WE do not give up on our dreams and that if you work hard, you CAN create the world you want. I look forward to all the other unknowns that I married into. 
I also look forward to this show in September. I am proud to say Paul Cannon Band will be opening for the AMAZING!!!! Brett Dennen!!!! Brett is sooo talented and I look forward to meeting him. Our path is beginning to cross with many beautiful people and I am excited to see what manifests next. Much gratitude.....

    I think it can be hard for people who don't do that to understand why one would make a decision that is more in support of their spouse than in support of their bank account, house, self - some other, more definable goal. It's easy to define dollars, hard to define a soul.
    I do belive that we all need more than food, water and shelter to live - we need passion and hope, we need a dream of our better self. I think we all suffer without that. Some more than others, but that it damages every person to be seperated for their dreams, their passions.
    I'm proud of you and the beautiful choices you're making.
