my tiny baby's breathing deeper every day...

Two and a half years ago at Alison's brother Clay's wedding...



Yesterday at Jason and Emily's...



It's like I've stopped growing and she's doing it for the both of us.

It's bittersweet and it's going too fast...

Top Five Mad Geniuses

Danny Bryant had a good suggestion with this one. CLICK HERE to see my list. Very curious to see who might be on yours.

And remember, we're trying to drive some new traffic to the forum on andrewosenga.net, so it'd be great if you felt like commenting over there instead on these. Thanks.

The Mad Genius of Steven Delopoulos

I played with my friend Steven Delopoulos last night here in Nashville. It was really fun.

He's a mad genius. You never know what he will do and it makes playing with him pretty thrilling. Todd sat in on the last few tunes as well and pretty much blew me away.

I'm so honored to get to do what I do. To make music with people who I really think are some of the most talented in the world.

Steven's new record will come out in November, I think, and it's amazing. One of the best records of all of my friends, I think. You can CLICK HERE and download a free EP that contains a few of those recordings.

I've got to run now and get to a wedding rehearsal. I'll try and think of the next Top Five on my drive home...

The Legacy of the Top Five

Everybody loves Top Fives. Top Fives are an American, nay, a worldwide institution. Can anyone think of a better way to see how greatly you disagree with people you thought you liked?

For instance, if we were talking about Top Five Best Albums and you put Steely Dan, I'd know you were nuts. If you put the Spice Girls I'd know you have a good sense of humor. If you put "Achtung Baby" or "The Joshua Tree" I'd know you were brilliant and that we must be related somehow.

So for at least a couple weeks now we're going to run a daily Top Five here on the andrewosenga.net forum. I'll post the topics on my blog and myspace page, but link to the forum for the actual lists and discussion. Hopefully this will help kickstart a bit of a community over here.

So make sure and swing by here often and don't be afraid to jump in the fray. After all, if you really believe Perfect Strangers is the best TV show ever, you now have a chance to change all of our minds and make this world a better place.
