| | alright peoples,
i'm back!
i can't believe it's been almost a year since i posted. busy year. i produced a lot of my own album. i moved to new york. doesn't sound like a lot, but i feel like i can move on now.
living in new york is frickin fantabulous. i love it love it love it, even all the shitty parts of it. although the windy cold right now is not my friend. but my time in chicago definitely prepared me well, the long down jacket, good walking boots. i was walking on madison ave yesterday, and saw all the ladies in their furs. i would never buy or wear a fur, but i bet it's warm under those poor lifeless pelts.
the album is done and i can breathe a sigh of relief. i can also start working on all the little song ideas that i've taped on my little digital recorder. making this album was not easy. i struggled a lot, at dealing with relationships with the other people working on the album, at my own understanding of what i wanted it to sound like, at accepting the results and knowing that it is a learning process. i'm satisfied with the final product, but i'm always thinking, "the next one will be better." i have a feeling i'm gonna say that after every album. such is the pursuit of your own creation.
i played a show last nite at this little cafe in the village. it was a 9:30pm show on a school nite and it was freezing, so i just knew that no one would show up. but i'm trying to get myself back on the show wagon, back into show mode, and meena was coming with me to play cello and sing backup, which always makes it fun. we show up, dead crowd - just the other performers and their friends. i love my friends, but if i were them i wouldn't show up either. before my set starts though, my friend pete from boulder CO walks in. supplies! he's in town for work and decided to surprise me. which was a brilliant coincidence, because just that day i had received an email from a publication in denver who wanted to review my album and interview me. and i was thinking to myself that i should get in touch with pete to plan my show out there. mysteries of the universe.
a couple of other women walked in before my set with no jackets. no jackets!! it was in the 20s last nite with a nasty windchill. they were on vacation from LA and happened to be staying across the street. one of the women is a filmmaker, and she and i had a great talk about following our passions. she will be a great contact to have. you just never know who's listening!
i'm off to rehearse - so many talented musicians in new york. toodles!
