the Journey by Dave Hudson
If you haven't matured by the age of 50 (like me), You're probably an artist of some description who is meant to create something to give to the world.
The Journey contains 10 songs written over a 25 year time span. They chronicle the the life and times of me; Dave Hudson - an ordinary lad living on the streets of Adelaide at 15, finding his passion for love and music through eking out an existence driving a cab in between gigs (mainly for food and alcohol) and rehearsals. A lot is said and written about the adolescent transition from childhood to adulthood -
This is an album about the Journey we will all face if we survive that - the journey from young adult to mature adult. It only takes about 30 years folks! I really hope you like it.
The message is clear; it's never too late to follow your dream. It's never too late to get up off that couch and step outside. It's never too late to be what you want to be. And of course, there's always next time around. On that circle of life.
