So, we were forced to take a little time off. It was nice to have the time to stop and listen to God more clearly. I felt another restlessness. We finally rented a sound system and played a few more shows as Adam Wood and Another Zone ... with me playing the bass guitar while I was sinigng ... it didn't turn out bad, but something I don't think I'd want to do again. In that time, my guitarist, Scott Oyer, and I had played a few acoustic dates for special events. I started thinking back to those times. I realized it was so much easier and less stressful. I felt that God wanted me to simplify my life, and this would be a big part of the process. So, here I am today. Adam Wood again. Scott has been normally playing guitar for me, with an occasional fill in. But, I've come to realize some things. I've had more oportunities in a solo artist setting than I have ever had with an organization like "Adam Wood and Another Zone." I've been working on some writing, in book form and I've had more oportunites to do more with other artists and bands. It's amazing, and it's great to be able to go to a place and just hang out. With the band, we had to worry about all those perfect entrances ... making sure the people didn't see us before the performance, or afterwards until we came out to sign autographs. Now, it's so much better. I can just walk right off stage and hang out with the people. The music has changed, yes. I'm not in the limelight that I once was.
However, we still have a good fan base. But it's not all about fame and money. I've come to a realization that without Jesus Christ, I so wouldn't be where I am today. At the end of the summer, though, look for some more band dates. I've been wanting to experiment with the band again. So, now, I get a chance to start it up again and see where God takes us. He's amazing. I wouldn't have made it without him. Or ... with a few special people: Thank you Geoff Moore, Scott Oyer, Trent Lockhart, Casey Smith, TJ Lane, and Robert Morgan (last two are "garage band" buddies). You guys are amazing and deserve an abundant amount of credit. Thanks again! And God Bless!!
