The Ranch

So, Im sitting here one morning thinking to myself; 'Just', what are we going to do today.  I wanted to get some new stuff to put up on the site. 
My first thought was to go to Long Bay, and set up on the beach somewhere.  Then I thought, maybe I'll just drive around and stop where ever the spirit leads me.  These are both good ideas, and will come to frutition one one day.  But, the idea that did come to me turned out to be sweeter than any. 

Surrounded by all the smells, sounds, and sites of a horse ranch, I got a few good takes.  Like this one:

Grass is Greener?

So, I guess the question is, is the grass really greener on the other side. Of course, circumstances dictate the answer to this question in most cases. But, when you really think about it, it's usually better to just stay put. Don't go trying to jump that big fence with gold in your eyes.

Recently, I've been fronted with the choice to go to Nassau or stay here in Turks Island. The possibility of living in Nassau, a much busier hot spot, are encouraging. There are way more people, which means more expossior, bigger crowds, more gigs, etc. OK, so the vegetation sound pretty lush on that side.
Turks, on the other side, offers its own set of benefits. For one, serenity, which is something of a myth in Nassau (on the main land). The scenery around here is to live for. And I can't complain about the quality of life.

So, I can say for now that I'm staying put. I'm gonna work on my music, and my house, and see how tall I can grow this grass. One of the really good things about doing it this way....
You can still come to the Turks and Caicos Islands and see JustSpliff Live, anytime you want.

So, I don't mean to sound braggy, but this is the life. The sun, the sand, the sea; one can almost forget that I was on the clock. Yes folks, at work!

As lead rhythm and lead vocal for my band "JustSpliff", you wouldn't really call what I do a job. But every now and then I will get a call from John asking if I want to work for the day. If you haven't realized what my usual answer is yet, just look at the pics again.

Being on the boat isn't actually a job either, but it does involve a little more manual labor. This minor irritant is easily offset by the serenity that comes when being on the water. Even the new faces, and experiences all make it hard to turn down a day at 'work'.

Yea, life in the Turks and Caicos can be a bit ser-real. But let me assure you that it is very real. So real, I can feel it.... At least that is what I think every time I dive in!
