I am really looking forward to tonight at the Fig Cafe. I hope to play quite a few of my songs. I am also really excited about Saturday and playing on 91.9 FM WFSS. That is a dream come true for the second time in my life. Show starts at 4pm. Hope you can listen in either bu Internet or local radio. That would be cool!
Guess this blog is long overdue as I have written so many different kinds of songs since my last real post. I think I may have a song for just about anybody though I am limited as to how many I can post on Myspace. That's ok, with the ten I have up here, I am sure you can get the idea of my porch songs.
Wow, is all I can say - my second anniversary in music came and went as did my b-day in October. I have a bunch of songs, a few friends and fans, but no luck with convincing anyone close to me who can play music to do so on these songs. I have a tentative arrangement with a local band. I hope that might pan out but I doubt it as I do believe I have too many different kinds of songs that might be a turn-off to their style, i.e. Slipper, Meet Me on Facebook, etc. I may have to find one of those CBS Talk Show bands to be able to incorporate the diversity, . . .of course I can always write and sing in one genre, like Southern Rock, or Country, . .money would change everything.
So where is my trust fund groupie? You have magic in your heart to satiate dreams? Thought I would ask anyway as that is as improbable as landing a recording contract. Guess they will come when the time is right. The time will be right when I can play and record well enough to cause all my friends to start talking. There are whispers now, exchanges I can't quite hear but the subject shifts very quickly as I have not enough news to generate longevity in conversation. That's cool - I never expected anyone to like one song I wrote. I am just glad everyone knows that I can and do write songs they have never heard in a manner that is untrained, undisciplined, and nebulous at times. Does that make it special?
When you know and you know you know, confidence replaces fear. Well I know just enough to nervous now. Before it didn't matter that I did not know how. As I have learned, the how part is extremely deep, complex, and a barrier to entry for almost anyone who is poor. Poor people can't have dreams like mine. The dreams and the lifestyle do not fit - hence my new song Someday Isle. It is all rubbish anyway, these thoughts that randomly expose themselves to my consciousness. Toss them out the window and I may find myself happy. Since I can't toss them away, I am unsettled in all aspects of my life as if I am working towards something that has huge potential but will need a fantastic stroke of luck to achieve any of it.
Guess that is enough for now - I want to write some PR stuff for my songs and albums so you can read it. . . . All the best from NC - God Bless all who traverse this page.
