I sit in my home now, as still and quiet
as it’s ever been, with candles lit around the various tables, my
guitar keeping me company on the ground next to me, and my dog keeping
me company in her bed. It’s still in this place. So full of peace.
So full of the future. I am excited. I am still. I am expectant. I
am sure.
There are a lot of things to mull over this week.
Why, while my producer and his wife were out of town, did their home
get robbed and completely wiped out of everything? Like someone just
moved them to another place without telling them they were moving.
Maybe they’ll get to their new home and all his instruments and
recording gear, all her books and clothes, all their silverware and
dishes (nothing special – just dishes of the Target persuasion), and
furniture get stolen? It’s crazy. Maddening. Confusing.
Why has the Internet become SO VAST that I can’t get my head around
it. There’s too much information now. Too many dead links. Too many
ways to loose contact. Too many details to manage. What did make
being a musician easier has almost made it crippling. I am thinking
about shutting down all my music sites (there are at least 15) and just
coming to the old fashioned web site for my comfort. We’ll see. It’s
craziness. Just too many pages to update and keep track of. All of
them end up suffering.
What am I going to do about the practical things? Music,
relationships with family and friends, moving to a new home next month
(potentially), and supporting those I love, touring, recording,
continuing to write, living in general type stuff… it’s all
overwhelming and manageable. All easy and difficult. But in a lovely
way
