I'm selling my amp to give my wife an awesome Christmas!

To clear some space for new gear and to give my wife an awesome Christmas, I’m selling my 72/73 Fender Twin Reverb with the custom road case. I used this amp on both The Medicine and Song Inside The Sound Albums. It's a great amp. I signed the back and I’ll be including an entire set of out-of-print On The Road vinyl records, and my entire catalog of CDs.  Also, I’ll include a picture of me with the amp… if you care about that kind of thing.  

We will take the highest offer starting at $1,400 plus shipping (prob between $100-$130).  If you are interested, email Katie Caulfield: katie(at)monikermusicgroup(dot)com.  We will take offers from now until 11:59p (Eastern Time) Tuesday Night. Let us know if you want it!

I've seen lots of these amps over the years and this one is probably the cleanest sounding I've ever played. I bought it from a shop 10 years ago and have had it serviced regularly.  It honestly sounds better today than the day I bought it.  

I used it while recording both The Medicine and Song Inside The Sounds... Albums.  I've also used it on tour especially for the greater part of the last 2 years.  

It has some minor ware and tear.  There are a few minor tares in the Tolex but nothing substantial. It's in pretty awesome condition for a 40 year old amp. 

I believe most of the parts are original and whenever it was serviced my repair guy said he used mostly new old stock.

This is a big deal for me: Reissuing The Song Inside The Sounds of Breaking Down

It’s not always a good idea for an artist to look backward.  Things often look different in the cold light of the morning after, and much of what we try to say can rely heavily upon context.  Plus if you’ve grown at all, it can be painful to look at your old work.  Kind of like that haircut you had in high school or the tattoo you picked up in Daytona on Spring Break.  But for me, revisiting these old songs has become something I never expected.  It’s become a bit of a healing process.   

As creatives, we’re made to give away what we have. But sometimes, especially when there’s a demand, we can be tempted to dig deeper and deeper within ourselves to satisfy that demand.  At first, you give away your best stuff: the cream of your crop.  This is the stuff we’re meant to give. This is the stuff we’re proud of. When that runs out, you give your good stuff, your OK stuff, and your not-so-good stuff. Finally, you can start digging into the container itself and actually start giving parts of yourself away.  The problem is that if you give too much of yourself away, you wake up one morning to discover that you've scraped the bottom of the barrel one too many times and now there’s a leak. You look like yourself but there's no substance left - you feel as though you've become a bit of a ghost.

I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t realize I was leaking until I tried to write a song. For weeks I came up from my office each day with almost nothing.  When I showed my wife what I did have, she wanted to know why I’d written myself out of my songs: why didn’t I use the terms “I” and “me” anymore (and hadn’t for years actually).  I realized the reason “I” wasn’t in my songs anymore was because I wasn’t in my songs.  I had nothing to say.  My well was a sandbox.  I was dry as a bone.  Real music comes from real life, and I didn’t have much of one anymore.  I’d become consumed with keeping a machine running so that I could keep the budget flush.  I became involved in a process that I’d seen a hundred times.  The business that is created to support a vision begins to drive the vision itself.  This is when things start to feel plastic and disingenuous.  This is when things start to suck.  This is when I check out.

I realized the only way I was going to be able to live with myself and keep doing what I loved was to start from scratch and piece things back together one by one. This would prove to be a slow, painful process. So in the meantime, I thought it would be a great idea to rerelease my album from 2005: “The Song Inside The Sounds of Breaking Down." 

We tracked most of this album in a 100-year-old wood shop and sold CDs out of my basement until 2008.  After I signed with Integrity, the record label wanted to take the album off the market so it could be properly reintroduced to a larger audience (as they later did with “The Medicine,” which was also recorded and released independently). Due to a number reasons (all frankly too boring to talk about on this blog), the album was never rereleased.  For 4 years, there has hardly been a day that I didn’t receive a MySpace message, Facebook post, Tweet, or email about this album.  Now that I’m calling the shots again, I figured it would be a nice gesture to give all these people what they’ve been asking for for so long. (Plus we re-mixed it to make it sound the way we dreamed it could’ve sounded in 2005, and we added some extra stuff that I’ve wanted to put out for a while.)

The funny thing is, I thought I was rereleasing this album to give my new friends a chance to hear where our journey began (and kill some time while I figured out who I was again). But in the process, it also reminded me where and why I began.  While I could still hear some of the immaturity in my writing from those days, there were moments that seemed to be perfectly relevant to where I am right now.

“Son of David, don’t pass me by...Cause I’m naked, I’m poor and I’m blind” - Closer

“You and I meet on the shores of the broken...You swallow the ocean and I swallow my pride” - Ashes and Flames

“This body is a hole...My flesh one shallow grave...I am six feet below myself...And at my best I still deserve to die...But I’ll be glorified in this ridiculous mess”- Setting Suns

“For the chance that I could know you now...I would bury my pride in the ground...Cause if I’m running then I don't know how ...I’m ever gonna get back home” - Make You Move

“All of a sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory...And I realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me" - How He Loves

I’ve sung that line so many times that I forgot I wrote it.  "How He Loves" was originally recorded on this album and it contains a 3rd verse that I don’t do live.  The song never really fit on "The Medicine."  It was meant for this album.  Most of these songs, like "How He Loves," were written from a place of being seriously “broke down."  Wading through the ashes of yesterday but willing to move on.  Knowing a little more about what lasts and what doesn’t.  A little better at differentiating between what’s real and what’s smoke.  A little beat up but a lot wiser.

I’m technically a better writer now, but these are exactly the kinds of songs my heart needs to sing today.  I hope they do something for your heart too.  I’m glad you finally get to hear them.

Seen A Darkness We have seen a darkness But we have seen a light We have felt the love Of a hope’s hot blood In the machinery of night We have seen a darkness But we have seen the sun We have come undone To a loves hot song In a symphony of blood The valley of the shadow knows our name We have seen a night But we have seen the day Dressed in the blood of loves hot veins We have overcome Yeah, we have overcome Born into the grave But born a second time We’ve been born again Into loves hot hands On someone else’s dime The valley of the shadow knows our name We have seen a night But we have seen the day Dressed in the blood of loves hot veins We have overcome Yeah, we have overcome You have called us loved And you have called us wanted One time we were bruised We were bankrupt and haunted Love You Swore Chase me down like a lion Like a bird of prey Lift me up from the ashes Of my hearts own shallow grave Cause I know that I love you But sometimes I’m afraid Whoa oh… Spare my body from the wolves, God That crouch down at my door Lift me up above the waters And the sharks that guard your shore Cause I know that I need you But sometimes I know it more Whoa oh… Harbor me in the eye of the storm I’m holding on to love you swore Who Is This Who is this The King of Glory Who is This The King of Glory Who is this The King of Glory Open up your gates before him Open up you doors You everlasting doors Open up you doors You everlasting doors Open up you doors You everlasting doors Open up your gates before him Skeleton Bones Peel back our ribs again And stand inside of our chest We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah Peel back the veil a time Let us see you with our naked eyes We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Grave stones roll to the rhythm of the sound of you Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Yeah so separate those doors Let the sun of resurrection in Oh let us Adore the son of glory  Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up We want your blood to flow inside our body and We want your wind inside our lungs We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah We want your blood to flow inside our body and We want your wind inside our lungs We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Grave stones roll To the rhythm of the sound of you Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found yeah so separate those doors And let the sun of resurrection in Oh let us Adore the son of glory  Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up Oh let us Adore the son of glory  Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up Everything that breaths Everything that breaths Everything that breaths Oh let us Adore the son of glory  Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up Death in his grave Though the Earth Cried out for blood Satisfied her hunger was Her billows calmed on raging seas for the souls on men she craved Sun and moon from balcony Turned their head in disbelief Their precious Love would taste the sting disfigured and disdained On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down in grief But awoke with keys Of Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ  Laid death in his grave So three days in darkness slept The Morning Sun of righteousness But rose to shame the throws of death And over turn his rule Now daughters and the sons of men Would pay not their dues again The debt of blood they owed was rent When the day rolled a new On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down by grief But awoke holding keys To Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ  Laid death in his grave On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down in grief But awoke with keys Of Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ  Laid death in his grave He has cheated  Hell and seated Us above the fall In desperate places He paid our wages One time once and for all
