Thursday - 5:30 PM. Life's Little Twister is just one of those songs.
It was the Thursday before Easter. I gave up alchohol for Lent. Thoughts of someone so messed up they just don't see it, plow my head. It's me sometimes.
Suddenly a song comes floating into the room. Why is this song here? I can't help it. I can't stop it. Words flow and feeling rise and fall. Something is dragging her down and I am not able to stop it. But I will go to the Garden again.
I can make my own decisions. I decided to fail and didn't even see it. But I will go to the Garden again.
Life used to have such a meaning. What is different. My decisions. My actions. I have denied my Lord again. And yet, I wake the next day and everything is coming up roses.
I will go to the Garden again, one day never to leave.
The song has floated away. Thursday - 5:45 PM.

Frazier Riddell was born in Canton Mississippi, in the 1960's, the son of a strong willed cotton farmer & loving Christian mother. He shared a love for music that was shared along with his family. "My first music learned was on my grandfathers piano" says Riddell. "My brother Charles and sister Diane taught me Chopsticks, Heart and Soul, and another tune. All three songs were duets and we played them over and over till improvisation sprung up to avoid boredom! Looking back I realize I first learned about improvisation at age 5." Frazier took another step in his music when he took up saxophone in the 6th grade. He played alto and tenor sax throughout High School. During these years Frazier's other brother Robert casually taught him some chords on the guitar. "I learned to play 'dueling banjos' and the few chords my brother taught me, really well. I never really took the time to learn much more until I was 20 years old" says Riddell. "I wasn't playing sax (yet) at college, but still loved music, and began to dive into guitar more and more."
