<title>My first post</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I'm brand new to this site and not much of a blogger, but here goes...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So you know who I am...I run a nonprofit by day serving at-risk kids in San Francisco (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rocksf.org&quot;&gt;www.rocksf.org&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;and do the music thing when I'm not at work.&amp;nbsp; I suppose I say that because my two passions in life are my work with kids and music and the more that I can combine the two, the better for everyone (at least I hope so).&amp;nbsp; I am a bit of a latecomer to the music scene as I really only started performing as a bass player 5 or 6 years ago.&amp;nbsp; Finally, only 2 years ago, I got the courage to write and perform my own music and have been going strong ever since.&amp;nbsp; I never realized how rewarding and cleansing writing music could be and never imagined being the focus of attention on stage.&amp;nbsp; Now that I've gotten comfortable, I absolutely love it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I started off mostly playing the bass, I've always gravitated toward percussive, syncopated sounds.&amp;nbsp; I think my music reflects my background as my songs are driven by my style of acoustic guitar playing.&amp;nbsp; My words come from my past, my present and my future and I take inspiration from the world around me.&amp;nbsp; Particularily, my song &amp;quot;Take Me Away&amp;quot; is the world in which I work through my eyes.&amp;nbsp; It speaks to the struggles and hardships of the have nots (be sure to visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.curtyagi.com&quot;&gt;www.curtyagi.com&lt;/a&gt; for samples).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my blog, I'll probably talk about my music, my nonprofit and anything that is on my mind.&amp;nbsp; Be sure to check back weekly for more...&lt;/p&gt;
