Welcome to philipcody.com.
This is my story in words and music. Of course, there are plenty of pictures, too . . . but words and music are really my thing and spinning them into songs is what I’ve been doing for the better part of forty five years now and, during that time, I think I’ve gotten pretty good at it – successful, even. The highlights of that success are chronicled here, but that isn’t the entire story. As important as celebrating past glories may be, there’s a significant amount of good stuff going on, at present, that I am eager to share and that is part of the story, too.
This is a story about looking back at my life and life’s work with a sense of pride and a story about looking ahead with a great deal of excitement. This is a story of remembering old friends and of celebrating all my friends. It’s a story about memory and the making of new memories . . .

Lorraine Devon Wilke – Rock+Paper+ Music: To be honest, when Lorraine sent me that first email, announcing her new blog, I thought, “oh shit, not another blog!” But a few paragraphs into her first post, I knew that this was special. This was writing at a level of magnitude rarely found on blogs . . . witty, perceptive and intelligent . . . beautifully presented . . . but don’t take my word for it. Go visit and find out for yourself.
