This is our last full day in Manila. Pool day! As far as I'm concerned, the hotel pool is the best place in Manila. No, this is not the most exciting blogpost. Yes, there is a loud festival going on down the street, construction of 2 buildings next door, sea planes, constant honking, barking, smooth jazz, but relaxing all the same. The Hotel Jen staff has been amazing and way over the top from what we would get in the US. Joshua has been having some stomach problems and well, dad knows those quite well. It's called nerves and it's just one of the joys of travel. That's aside from moving to a new country with a new family. The manager Hannah personally escorted us to the clinic where the hotel doctor examined him. Nothing out of the ordinary but man this staff is good. Our room was also moved due to some leaking in the bathroom. This too was handled well by staff.  Out to hang by the pool we went. The ocean wind seemed to blow the smog back into Manila clearing the way for some sun. We swam for a few hours, ate lunch, and then out of nowhere the hotel had a lifeguard drowning drill. What a surprise for Joshua who was observing in amazement and possibly fear. By the time we were finished, 5 hours had passed and I had a rather nice sunburn. We chilled in the room for awhile and got ready for Kitsho, a Japanese sushi and sake restaurant in the hotel. Dinner was unexpectedly not crowded. I  read write ups on this place not understanding how they could not be a reservation only restaurant. Well, seems that aside from the high prices, our waitress/hostess was not very attentive and there were sections on the menu not even available. Robert Irvine would have a field day with this one. Looked very nice, but not outstanding in any other way. Everything was good but we had better sushi experiences in the US. In Kenosha nonetheless... We headed upstairs to watch some foolish Planet of the Apes movie and fell asleep. Yes, dad was tired enough to agree to watch it. We are leaving late tomorrow... very late.

The 7th Song of the Seventh Song

The days seem to move quicker as the summer steams by. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the music as life moves along in it's twists and turns. This is one of those months... and I anticipate a few more. Between moving to another location and a major international trip (new adventure) there hasn't been a great deal of time for shows or working on new material. There is however a surplus of B-Sides and some new songs in pre-production stages that I will be unearthing. I am also experimenting with some unorthodox recording methods such as a cell phone/tablet/synth sort of platform. This might take a bit but it's pretty wild.

That being said, the new single Your Kingdom Come, is a return back to rock music plain and simple. It's solid groove has hints of Hendrix, The Crowes, and a touch of the Beatles mixed up into a Christian groove rock tune. Now I know that all those CCM folks try hard to be "sound-alikes" but this is not the case here. Personally I think they should try harder to make honest original music like the Lord intended instead of trying to sound like the latest musical flavor (no I don't know what the Lord actually intended but I'm sure it's not ripping off every crappy bubblegum pop/rock song out there). That being said, swing by www.timkorry.com for the new single before it hits iTunes or CD baby! Thanks again for your support!
