Welcome to 50 Pigeon Hill Road!

This was a very exciting moment for me as you can tell.

Setting up to record

Preparation is key and Chad came into the studio knowing exactly what he was doing for In the End. Props to him for all his hard work and dedication to his sound.

Chad Rockin' His Part

I believe he'll tell you this is his favorite song to play on the album. And you can definitely tell. It is in fact my LEAST favorite song to sing on the album and imagine it will take a few times to get it just right on all accounts. We're thinking of adding some strings in there somewhere...

5 takes?!

Chad was on FIRE! Dave and I both agreed that Chad's 3rd take was a keeper but he is a perfectionist (or just playing it safe) which are BOTH great qualities for this type of project and so he did a couple more. I think he was just having a blast being there. Good to have him!

Tattoo Finally Realized

Here is the tattoo that I finally got in honor of my mom who passed away 12 years ago. Now she will always be with me (not that she wasn't before...)

I love you, everyday. 5/26/97



I apologize for not having the Ask You page but it will be done soon!

Ask You Lyrics

You've heard the song, now read the song.

(Many thanks to all who have listened and to your beautiful compliments...I'll always remember them)

Ask You

I could offer you my ears
they are open wide for you
just in case you get lonely and need someone to talk to

it's been such a long time since
i heard your caring voice
so it'd definitely help me here to fill this silent void

and if you can hear me now
i'd like to Ask You now

are you finally free from pain?
and is there beauty where you are?
full of light and endless summer rains
is there a chance we'll meet again?
yes, i hope we meet again

i am selfish because
if i could have you here i would
so you could help me get yet through another year without you

but i have no regrets
in letting you go
because tonight i can sleep soundly knowing you're not alone

and if you can hear me now
i'd like to Ask aloud

are you finally free from pain?
and is there beauty where you are?
full of light and endless summer rains
is there a chance we'll meet again?
yes, i hope we meet again

i like to think that things happen for a reason
it's the only way i can justify for you leaving

i hope you're proud of what i've done and who i've become, and who i've become
i love you every day, i'm sorry that you went away
but i am happy you're free, you're finally free

so don't feel bad for leaving me. no, don't feel bad for leaving me, don't feel bad for leaving me
