Hello every­one and wel­come to my new web­site here at deanhall.com. Now that I’ve finally switched over to Word­Press, most con­tent will be posted on here in a few weeks.

I know it’s been a while since there’s been any­thing new on the site, but I’ve pur­posely taken a break from play­ing my orig­i­nal music live. Other than song­writ­ing,  poetry, and the occa­sional cover-gig, I’ve been on input for a while. The same-ole-same-ole was begin­ning to get a bit unful­fill­ing. By that, I seem to have come to this rev­e­la­tion: although per­form­ing live is immensely reward­ing, I felt my song­writ­ing should reflect my views about life; what is impor­tant to me and makes me get out of bed in the morn­ing. So, dur­ing this interim, I’ve gone back to school in pur­suit of enlight­en­ment and elu­ci­da­tion in phi­los­o­phy, poetry, reli­gion, and civil rights. A Socratic process of intro­spec­tion — if you will. My new-found expres­sion and thought per­me­ates the lyrics and songs in my next CD.

Speak­ing of a new CD — it’s almost fin­ished. I’ll have some of the new songs posted for down­load by the end of June.

In the mean time, check out my poetry on the poetry tab and let me know what you think.

The blog won’t be far behind.

My best,

Dean
