Hi everyone and thanks so much for all your support of my music! It has been a heck of a year, and this one is proving to be nearly just as difficult, but I hope you are all well and staying positive. Most of my songs revolve around that theme as well although a few are simply my frustrations and/or pet peeves put to song, I try to create great music with positive vibes and send it out hoping to make a little stir in the big pond of this world. Last year I was creating about one new song per week! That would be writing it, recording it, mixing, arranging, mastering, and then creating it into a video with lyrics! As things have started to open up (at least around here) I have been working more and doing many gigs and don't have the time do continue that output. But doing that during those crazy months last year really helped me take my mind off the mess and maintain some sort of sanity. I hope some of the songs did the same for others too. I do have a huge catalog of previous material with many songs I've never uploaded and I am going through many of the really good ones to start doing that soon. I am also working on a brand new one soon to come, called "The Girl in Brown Who Walks Alone". Look for it soon! Hint, although it is generic and could be about anyone, I got the idea from reading about the famous aviator - Amelia Earhart - and someone wrote in her 1916 yearbook "To the girl in brown who walks alone" and I could not get past that phrase, so I wrote a nice, but haunting song on it. It is a little sad, but I include a glimmer of hope in the bridge about following your star and letting light shine through, to keep it hopeful. Please know that every song here is really best heard within the video, so please watch those linked to it, or go to my channel at www.youtube.com/wescoastblues (linked here) and most of these are also available to purchase at johnboda.bandcamp.com where I also have a lot of my older material which I am going through again also. Thank you again, peace, grace, and God bless!
