New song demos on the way…

It’s been a quite a while…

My full CD is set for release in late April.  As the recording progresses, I intend to post the odd demo of songs at any given stage before the final CD track version.  It’s a cool way to gain insight into the process of songwriting and recording…from the sketch of an idea to the final product.  Hope you enjoy them!

These days my brain is swimming with all the details of properly producing and promoting a CD at a serious level.  The time and budget constraints are weighing pretty heavily on my mind, as I try to keep it clear enough to actually create a solid collection of songs.  Believe me – I am NOT complaining (merely stating a fact) – I consider it a privilege and a blessing to even be able to undertake such an ambitious project.  After all, I’m not starving, or homeless, or sick…so if I didn’t go after my dreams, I would in a way be insulting those who don’t have the same opportunity to do so.  I’m not claiming to be doing them any favours by pursuing my musical aspirations – that would be deluded and arrogant.  All I’m saying is I appreciate what I have and I’m trying to make the most of it while I can.  We all know it could all be gone tomorrow…or even later today.

For me, the success is in the DOING…so I’m just doing it.  Period.  (I hope I don’t owe Nike any royalties for borrowing the sentiment of their ubiquitous slogan!)  More soon…Thanks for caring! 

Peace
