i would quit the music business as an artist/performer today if i knew that my stubborn ass wouldn't get an optimistic second wind next week.

sometimes i believe that i was given just enough talent to maintain a false sense of hope but not enough to actually succeed.  i'm defining "success" here as making enough money through sales, licensing and/or performing to finance a little domicile of my own in which i can continue to make music with out having to work a crap job.  a tall order in these tough times, i know.   but considering that i've been doing this non-stop for almost 15yrs and that for the next few months, i'm giving my music away for FREE, i've earned the right to vent a little. no?

i suspect that the media as well as the majority of the music consuming public finds me and my music uninteresting or just isn't interested in finding someone like me.  to be more specific, i've always had a theory that i'm too pop for the indie fucks and not pop enough for the pop morons.  and as a "middle of the road" singer/songwriter, perhaps i just don't fit the bill.  i suppose that i don't look like i smoke as much pot as i do nor do i look like the home studio geek that i've become.  oh, well.  there are more important things in life, so i'm told.  

that being said, i do hold very dear to my heart, the few fans that i have aquired over years.  i know that i've touched some of you with my indie-pop and i will continue to write, record, and promote songs for your listening pleasure.  in fact, the songs that i'll be writing, recording, giving away and performing over the next few months are for YOU.  i sincerely thank you for hanging with me.

can you say, "jingles" or "behind the scenes?"

love
