First Recording

Tonight I decided to pick up the old acoustic Taylor and have a go at a recording session. I think I did about five takes and finally have a decent recording. Its not perfect, but this ain't a perfect world, and I'm not a very good guitar player! I think I might use it for the album though. I have to have some singing sessions in the coming days and see if I can polish it up alittle bit. Then I will only have ten more songs to record! Man, this is alot more work than I figured! I'm glad I am an independent artist. My own boss, my own time....but also my own money lol. Anyways, keeping you updated! I'll post again this month!

LIVE

Last night I played live at the "Grand Old Jamboree," a local picking parlor. This is the second time I played there, and the 2nd time total I played live. I was really nervous at first, but settled down by song two. I played two Waylon Jennings tunes, "Lonesome O'nry and Mean, and "Waymore Blues." The last two songs I did I wrote myself, which the crowd still seemed to enjoy it. I even had some old lady in the front row dancing lol. It made me feel really good about my singing and playing. I am looking forward to singing there again soon.

Ugly Week

It has just been a terrible week! The weather was cold, damn, raining and snowing for the past 3-4 days. A week prior to this, we had 70 degrees F weather. Now to go from hot to cold is just plain torture! I'm ready for summer, big time. I'm really getting sick of this cold icky weather. Another thing is that I was laid off of work once again. I think I only worked a month and a half out of the new year so far! Business is slow as hell.
In music news, well...there really isn't any news. I've been messing around with a few new songs, an trying different things with my old songs. I've also been doing alot of Waylon Jennings songs on the webcam and posting them on YouTube.com. I'm not that great with other people's songs! There is still no release date on my cd or the new site. I am shooting for sometime in September for the website, but we will see how much recording I get done first. I have the layout finished, and everything is almost ready to upload. So my time hasn't been a total waste!
Anyways I'm back to work now, we are still very slow. I've been playing alot more guitar and getting back into the music groove..so look out!
