the one that certainly didn't get away...

i had my first 'full band' gig with the new band tonight...

the guys are amazing. like. A-mazing. it was so much fun to be able to show my music with a full band playing behind me. (except for the fact that i wanted to see their faces the whole time we were playing)

it was a good crowd...at least for the first hour or so...then things dwindled down a bit...(but hey...anything beats playing to a bartender)

so...tonight was a success...now...there's the cd release to look forward to...

today...i make a promise to myself...

ok.

so...my career as a musician has been underway since...(let me see when my first gig was...)...june fifteenth of last year. so... a little under a year. i've had 37 'gigs'...a little more than one a week...which is pretty amazing to me.

and yet...i feel like i could be doing more.

i should be getting the cd in about a week and a half...the cd release is two weeks after that...and then i want to launch. i don't wanna be a musician who settles for a 9-5 to pay the bills and then hopes to get a gig once in a while. i want music to be my life.

i have quite a few ideas brewing in my mind. some of which i think could be amazing opportunities.

so, today i'm making a promise to myself. i want to squeeze every ounce of music out of my soul. whether it's performing. teaching. studying. learning. i want music to take me over. and i want to promise to myself...and you...to do this. starting tomorrow things are going to kick into high gear for me. (i hope)

i know i'll have up and down days...but i'm done sitting by and waiting for things to happen. i'm going to start MAKING them happen...



just you wait and see...
