I missed Days 1 and 2, but I was certain that during the third day of this foolish month I needed to risk being called a fool. I needed to dare. My self-conscious, insecure self warned me to ignore the ridiculous thought and keep safe. But I’m told by the brave that safe is miserable, boring, and an illusion.

I had a job at the same company for 11 years … I felt safe. Five weeks ago I lost my job. I feel compromised. I find myself panicked. It feels dangerous to try to launch my own business. It is tempting to run into the arms of a job and a predictable paycheck. Those internal voices keep trying to scream sense into this thick skull of mine, while my sweet wife whispers, “It’s your time. I believe in you. You can do it.”

During this foolish month I am challenged to interrupt my day and do one new foolish thing each day. So on April 3, I grabbed my guitar and the family, and we went to share a song we wrote about Skyline Chili to a couple of our good neighborhood restaurants down the street. It was a surprise serenade that interrupted the hungry. I’m glad they didn’t throw food at us … yet again this fool loves a good cheese coney.

A Side of Taylors is a Cincinnati-based Americana/folk duo that consists of father-and-son Mason (15 years old) and Chris Taylor. They have been playing together over the past 6 years and are quite comfortable performing around fruits and vegetables as they cut their teeth doing gigs at local Farmer’s Markets. When joined by the rest of the family they quickly grow to six and combine sweet harmonies and warm emotions. Mason and Chris are passionate in developing as performers and songwriters and are grateful to share their journey with others.
