Latest Thoughts

  It's time for me to finally crawl out of my hole. When I injured my hand, something happened inside of me. I lost something. I still don't quite know what.....suffice it to say that my "get up and go" laid down and went comatose.

  I had gotten so buried by my need to pay the bills that I forgot I was a
musician.
  I was brought up in a weird financial environment. My father never owned a home. We rented and moved frequently. He had a bad back and was often out of work. When he WAS working, it was in low-paying jobs like; cab driver, security guard, cooking at Vassar College, cooking at the local catering company, etc. Getting work would have been difficult because we didn't have a car most of the time. My father's chronic back problems led to Welfare. I never really thought about it much back then. I just figured that he knew what he was doing and he was doing his best. I didn't complain but we were always compensating for the lack of money. A lot of energy was put into that.
   Point is, I grew up with a rather skewed outlook on how to survive financially. Now that I'm grown up, (yah right) I have this need to not be dependent on outside sources of income (Welfare, Food Stamps, loans etc.). So I'd taken steps to see that I have a steady and reliable income. Lately however, it has gotten me off the track of what I live for - music. The only thing I do PURELY is create. That is what I do. I can be an office manager and I can answer phones and I can build audio wire harnesses... ..........but what I do best is write and sing.

  So. Here's what I want to do. I would like to give one or two concerts either in mid-March or late March to April. I feel like singing now. I need venues. I've been thinking about doing a living room concert series and I wouldn't mind starting that now. In the immediate, I'd have to stay in the general Northeast but as the release of my new CD gets nearer, I'll be going all over the place.
   I need help again though. All those people who have offered up advice,
accomodations and/or living room concert space - email me at once. Let's
start this thing rolling again. I have gotten great responses from you all in
the past when I wasn't quite ready to go out. Now I am. Time is of the
essence.

"That is all I have to say.............let us sit and smoke a while." The first five people who can tell me what movie this is from, will get a free CD of their choice from me.
