i'm sitting in the studio as we speak.

it's the final venture.

(other than dropping the cd off at the guys to duplicate it)


i'm sitting here listening to my cd run a real time copy to the 'master' version. this has been such an interesting process. i've learned a lot about what it means to make an album...(although i still feel i have so much more to learn).

tonight i'll be putting some of the songs on myspace. it's a really emotional experience. i feel like i'm putting myself out there for the whole world to find...and just waiting to see what will happen.

i don't know. i'm rambling now.

basically i just wanted to say:

the cd is being mastered at this moment.

it will be dropped off for duplication tomorrow.

and done by the 19th.







i'm at a loss for words.

march 10th. (give or take a few days)

that's it.

the day.

the one i've been waiting for since the beginning of september.



it's the day i'll have 1,000 cds sitting in the basement next to my keyboard.
(well, hopefully...)


things are going well here in the great NE when it comes to music. i've been writing some new songs lately...about four in the past three weeks...and this last one...it's gonna be on my first full length...and i guarantee you that it is going to be my first single that takes the radio world by storm. (i'm trying to be a little optimistic here folks)

i've been having a fair amount of gigs in the past month and a half. at least one a week...which is great. people are starting to come to venues to see me...and keep asking when the cd is coming out, cause they'd "totally buy one". it's nice to know that people enjoy listening to you perform. i also started teaching lessons to some little kids last week. four lessons total (ages 4,6,8, and 10) and it's a blast. i think it's gonna be a challenge for me...mostly because...i'm teaching...piano lessons. for those of you that know me personally...you probably know that i graduated with a degree in vocal performance...so that's definitely my most comfortable instrument...piano being my secondary instrument...but they're all little ones, so all should be well.

i've also begun discussing some possible touring in the late summer/early fall with some musicians from here in town. talking with my producer/drummer about starting to play full band gigs. doing a lot of research on music law and self-employment...i feel like i've just begun to scratch the surface.



well, my friend...i'll be writing some more soon i'm sure...

(i'm playing a valentine's day party at a wine bar tomorrow night)


do what you love. where you love. with those you love.
