Well, they say February can sneak right by you if you’re not paying attention; but this February is one for the record books!! There seems to be some kind of a great awakening occurring across the globe, and I’m all for it! Awaken the individual inside… (the sleeper must awaken!)

I would also like to say Happy Birthday to my Father and Sister; and a major congratulations to my cousin Seth & Katie for their new baby Virginia Rose; and to my good friends Sean and Tabby for their new baby Eli ❤ I don’t plan on making babies myself, but y’all made some pretty cute ones and I’m so happy for your new families!!

Finally, my February EP from the 52 Song Challenge 2020 is now available through my Bandcamp page! Click the link below to check it out, and keep enjoying the busiest little month of the year! Also, welcome to the year of the Ox!!!

-Case Federal (02.12.21)

9 years ago I was preparing myself for the journey of a lifetime; leaving my home town to try and make it on my own in the world… Just before making my move to Texas from North Carolina, I was having all kinds of anxiety and hit a major creative rut, so I decided to challenge myself to see if I could perform while playing Drums and Piano at the same time. So I set up a “frankenstein kit” with the kick drum under the keyboard, and the rest of the drums around my piano bench; put some room mics up in my parents garage and hit record!…
What came out of that session would later become my “Through The Great Desert” album; featuring 2 tracks, clocking in at around 30 min total runtime. This album is intended to be an auditory journey which play upon the anticipation, anxieties, confidence and character that come with making life changing decisions. After the initial recording session, I mixed the drums and keys and began overlaying Flute and Voice Messages over top to help fill in some of the empty spaces or create tension. When I felt like i could do no more, I turned it over to my good friend and producer J-Dub(ATX), who truly helped give it that well rounded and warm ambient tone in the final mixing and mastering process!!
So, to mark this wonderful day, I will be offering “Through The Great Desert” for free to download through my Bandcamp page! Click the link below to get your free download, and I truly hope you enjoy it ❤

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
