Finals Finally Finagle Freshman's Freedom

Bonjur all! I come to you today from the sunny shores of Delusion Paradise. If you can't tell, finals are on their way and the preparation for such intense undertakings is wearing me down. It's okay, though. Just another week and a hlaf and I am free for summer. That's good for you, too, because we should be getting a lot of work done with all the free time we'll have. I know you're excited about catching some of the new material and we're happy to throw it your way.

I know May isn't here yet, but in the midst of my research, the procrastination there of has enabled me to stumble upon some rather astounding discoveries. Your "Band-o-the-Month" is, again, a draw between two fine groups of musicians. The Send (www.myspace.com/thesend) is heading towards the top of my list, but Ruth (www.myspace.com/ruthrock) isn't trailing by much. Both have a lot to bring to the table in the way of awesome lyrics and phenomenal music composition. The Send has more of a piano pop/rock feel while Ruth is exploring new horizons in the indie field. Either way, I think you'll be elated by tuning in to either one of them.

Short post today, I know, but there isn't a whole lot happening on this front as far as music by way of school. But, we do love you and appreciate you stopping by to see how we're doing. When things get a little less extensive and I have more to write aboutthat would interest you. Anyway, at least now you know you're day has been way more exciting than mine.

Much love and blessings,
Aaron

Outside in the middle of the night......with you......

Howdy, hiedi, ho there everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in so long, but I wanted to leave my last post up long enough so that everyone would get to know us and feel close to us. That way, if we catch you at any of our shows we will act like old friends who haven't seen each other in a long time; we could hug and laugh and when it's all over I'll go home thinking, "I wish I knew their name...."

It'll all work out, though.


Well being a musician and always on the prowl for music I haven't heard that I might possibly take a liking to, I have a general "Band of the Month." This month has been particularly tricky because it's down to two bands and I just can't choose. I found out about Nevertheless (www.myspace.com/nevertheless) a little while ago, but recently acquired their album just the other day and Sherwood (www.myspace.com/sherwood) has been in my list of listens, but not frequently visited. This month, though, I have discovered how truly fantastic both of them are. It's a toss up right now since both of them have been streaming through my iPod nonstop the past week or two.I encourage you to check out the both of them. I think you will find them as dandy as I do and, trust me, your ears will thank you later.

We, ourselves, have also been working on new material that we can't wait to debut to all of you. I have to get home first before anything can be done and that is proving to be quite a challenge. Hopefully, we will get our act together, get you some new material, and get you some dates and locations up on where you can catch us if you're itching ears yearn to hear more than the mediocrity you hear on our Myspace page (www.myspace.com/annabellesrunway).

In the meantime, whynot pick up a good book and expand your mind. I would reccomend one of the two I have been reading. Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell is phenomenal and I find myself enjoying more time with it than my other project, Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.

Poke your eyes out and keep your ears waxed for more from us. We love you and Jesus does, too.

Much love and blessings,
Aaron

A picture's worth a thousand words.......so four should really get you talking......

I found out today that apparently I begin all my posts with the word "Well." I don't know why I do that. I guess it's just my way of inviting you, the reader, into my conversation. In light of that, I am open for any suggestions on how to properly begin a blog. I might try the blunt side of things and hit you with a bit of philosophy or truth, but most likely I'll just do like every other annoying person on the face of the planet and interrupt your streaming train of thought with my meaningless, mindless rabble. Either way, we both get what we want. Or, that's how it works out in my mind.

SO (that works), all that aside, I decided for this post that, since you haven't seen any of our gorgeous faces (which means you are really missing out on some of GOD's most astounding creations), I would post some cute, rather histerical, photos of each of us and clarify a little bit on our position in our little orchestral ensemble (little wordy today, huh).













Aaron Sexton: Acoustic Guitars, Guitars, Vocals, Just all around good looking guy


















Bryant Cunningham: Drums, Percussion, Transportation Supplier, Chic Magnet


















Ryan Rainer: Guitars, Effects, Noise Maker, The source of all our hilarity












Scott Ligon: Bass, Production, Guitar Master, Father of Cutest Kid Ever (see #1 fan), Youngest at heart of all of us












Raelyn Ligon: #1 Fan, source of all our joy, in charge of laughing and being the general center of attention

There you go (that's another good one). That is us in all of our glory. Now when you make the extensive journey to catch some of our upcoming shows (details posted later) you will know each of us personally......almost.

Until then (now I'm on a roll), I leave you with some music critique. I have recently discovered a band worthy of my and (hopefully) your attention. Number One Gun has a great sound that I think will rank highly among us who like the punk/rock fun sound. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/numberonegun.

I hope you have enjoyed spending time with us today and I pray that you have a wonderful Easter holiday. Let us now take the rest of the time you will spend in my absence dwelling on the true meaning we are allowed to call ourselves GOD's children.

So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong. -Hebrews 12:12-13

Much love and blessings,
Aaron
