Hello Trick-or-Treaters!
I can’t believe it was a year ago that I had finished recording my “A Broom With A View” CD and was waiting for its printing, to get ready for sale by September 21st. It’s amazing to me how everything was finished in time for Halloween – tracking vocals, strings, keyboards, Jamie’s guitar and bass, Brian’s cello, Micah’s drums, Molly’s meows.
But I will admit that I was rather Kamikaze about getting everything finished and out the door. I didn’t take any major breaks or vacations during the recording process (except for one Saturday where I blasted the air conditioning and slept all day long … ahhhhhhh). My back went out from the stress of the deadline last year because I had decided in February to do a full-length CD instead of another 5-track EP. Tallyho!
And I came down with pneumonia in November, which made a wasteland of my lungs until about this past March. Tallyho!
Ah, but the CD was finished. However, next time I think I need to integrate more breaks and little vacations. Like this year. I think riding in the front of a speedboat is one of my favorite things ever. I like to pretend I’m a ship’s figurehead, but inside I feel like a puppy dog with an excitedly wagging tail. It’s such a happy-making thing.
So are bonfires and quality marshmallow time. Goo can be so glorious.
Well, speaking of goo, I have some goooood news: I’m going to be in two magazines next month. I’ll announce them on facebook/twitter/myspace when they’re out.
Tallyho!
