Soon

Going to seminars and hearing 'professional' songwriters talk, I hear I should be writing 100 songs a year. 2 a week. Well, it looks like I'll get a little more than half of that. At this rate I don't think it's going to be hard to do more than 50, but I seriously doubt I'll make it to 100.

Considering how much there is to do in life, it's a wonder I'm able to write as many songs as I've been able to, chalk it up to lack of sleep. It's possible that my sleep deprivation actually helps the songwriting process...it definitely alters my perception, breaks down the mental blockages. It's probably not good for my health though.

I wrote this yesterday afternoon after attempting to take a nap -finished it about 2am this morning. It's sort of a surreal song from the point of view of a guy who just met a girl the night before, she almost chokes to death, now it's the next night and he's hoping that things will work out. I call it Soon. Trying to get these songs recorded as I write them is a challenge too, but I think this one turned out descent all things considered...
Play tune

This Recycleman rock show is pretty funny. I never had visions of being a rock star, but I sure do get treated like one by the kids that I perform for. Yesterday after the show there was practically a stampede when I said 'I have 3 extra guitar picks.' A kid ended up getting knocked onto the floor. I was arguing that 4th and 5th graders were too old for the show, but we had 5th and 6th grades!

Parents warn their kids about rock concerts, we bring the rock concert to them.

Anyway I still haven't had much time to relax and I don't see the opportunity any time soon if I want to get the things done that I want to. CDBaby.com has gotten my CDs and of course the scan they mad of Samantha's beautiful artwork doesn't do it justice. You can't even tell what it is. I've been posting my stuff all over the place like mp3.com and Skratch magazine, and Garageband.com, who knows if it's gonna pay off any time soon.
