Steve writes most of his tunes right here in his Ypsilanti apartment.

<p>
One day I was standing in my apartment. I had just moved in, and the apartment was fairly empty.

<p>
I like space - it helps me think. It helps me write music.

I was inspired by the simplicity of my guitar, amp, guitar case and (for some reason) volleyball. So, I snapped this quick photo with my phone.

Interestingly, this preceded my <a href="http://fentriss.com/club/blog/just_a_couch">Just a Couch</a> blog post - at the time of this photo I didn't even have a couch!
</p>

<p>
It's nice to have couches, tables, and other creature comforts. But I never forget the joy of an empty room and a guitar.
