And so it begins...

“I blog at blog.blog/blog@blog.com! I balllog! Read my balllog! Please excuse me, I must buh-log about your shoes in my buh-log!”

This has been my slightly closed minded opinion of bloggers for a while now. However, finally reading some of my friends' blogs has changed my point of view on that. For example, I've had lots of fun following a close friend's blog on his adventures in photography, despite my very limited interest in photography. He obviously enjoys it, and I enjoy reading about it. Maybe there's something in this blogging thang after all...

 I'm lucky enough to make a little money and have a whole heap of fun doing something I love. Right, that's the subject matter sorted then. My problem is the content of the individual posts (posts? Ok, posts it is). I can wax elephant (thats the phrase, right?) with the best of them, but can I keep it up? Can I actually buuuh-log week by bloggy week and keep people interested enough to read it? Or will I run out of steam after two posts? Only one way to find out, really...

*Deep breath*

Hi there. I'm Rob, and I'm a musician. If your inner reading voice made that sound like something from an AA meeting, you're on the right track. There, I said it. I feel better.

Maybe some of you have heard the music I've made with the various bands I'm lucky enough to play with. That would be cool. If you haven't, follow the links and check 'em out! That'd be cool too. If you're wondering, I'm generally the guy playing the guitar and singing. You might see me play some kazoo from time to time too, which I play with reckless abandon. Whether you like it or not.

There are interesting times ahead for two of the bands I'm involved with, namely an acoustic blues band called One Horse Pony and pop-rock band called Fast.Like.Fun. Both have EPs on the way, and OHP are gearing up to record our first full length album this summer. The next few months promise to be busy, stressful and hopefully, immensely rewarding. I suppose it's as good a reason to bohl-ugg as any.

It better be; I doubt I could think of anything else to write about :-)

More to come, guys!
