day 38, "the making of....."

trying to remember rule number 6: "don't take yourself too seriously"! ha, that's a hard one. but a good one nevertheless.
feeling tired but had a very good meet with jp today. we decided on the 4 songs, plus one extra that i will do on my own with a wall of lush guitar: no, not heavy metal geetars!! that's all i'm gonna tell ya. but it's gonna be warm and luscious. can't wait.
we also have a backup song in case we move through the others and have time to spare. truth is, I have about 20 some odd songs i could record. most of them are songs written in the past few years up until the present. and some are a bit older, but they're standing the test of time so far. a little tweak here or there. sometimes it's good to step back and reassess an old song. you can see better what was missing, maybe change a word or two or add a new musical section if it warrants such. that's happened with one of the songs we'll be doing this week.

sometimes when i'm writing, i make up guitar chords, going by the sound i hear in my head. move a finger here, another one there till it's the chord i want. so, tomorrow, i have to create charts for the musicians, kind of like "musical road maps" the simplest way to put it, instead of actual written out music. mainly, it's chords and what bars they fit in. so, my work will be cut out for me on one song especially, but it will be worth it.

and now, without further adieu, i say goodnight. 2 more days till we're in the studio...yes.

day 37 "the making of......"

phew, ok, about to go to sleep but it's blog o'clock!
so, i spoke to jp today and we are meeting tomorrow afternoon to discuss the songs. hubby and i were talking about them today and i agree with him, i love all of them. it's nice to have a producer this time around to collaborate with; also the onus is not completely on me, but I am happy with that responsibility anyway. just nice to have some help with someone like-minded who is a great lover of real, live music, who has a long history in the world of music that i completely respect and admire.

so, we shall meet tomorrow and discuss. been practicing me songs.

ah, to sleep, and yes to continue to dream...oh, i'm so freakin' dramatic!!! haha!

days 35 and 36, "the making of...."

alright, guess i'm getting into doing 2 days at a time, but anyway, i'm doing it so that's good.
well today i spoke to jp. we were going to meet tomorrow to discuss the songs but he can't, so we'll either talk at length over the weekend or i'll meet with him sometime on sunday. either way, it's all fine.
some things are moving albeit, slowly, but still in the right direction. so, we shall see what the next few days bring. 5 more days till i'm in the studio. wow, can't believe it's here already.

nothing else to report. tomorrow will be a busy day and hopefully will have some more news at the end of it.

till then..

days 33 and 34 "the making of......"

well, i was so tired last night i forgot to do me blog!! so, again, i'm doing two days in one. actually, yesterday jp was trying to contact me a few times and i returned his calls, leaving messages. we finally got to speak. it was about a song of mine that i sent him a little while ago. i just did it with an acoustic/electric and vocal on the demo. he loved it and suggested we do that one in addition to the other 4 songs, and keep it simple. i love that idea!! very excited about that. just me and my geetar! so, i've been practicing a lot and due to all the typing i'm doing online etc. and the piano playing i'm also doing,and my game-playing on my iphone [i am addicted to scrabble!!!!] my hands and arms are getting a real workout! but it's all good. i'm always learning, trying to push myself a bit and experiment. still got the nightclub set up in my living room. tonight i was singing some of my new songs but also some old ones i haven't sung in a while. it was fun and at times a bit of a struggle remembering words i hadn't sung in a while. but when i relaxed even more, most of it came to me. all right here in my own little "mental" computer otherwise known as my brain.
oh, yeah, and i booked a little gig at a songwriters thingy for october here in la.. wow, can't believe how this year is rocketing by....whooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today, well, still in the middle of some bizness stuff, but i will have more definite things to report in the next few days for certain. full steam ahead, chip chip cheerio and all that stuff!!

love always;

days 31 and 32 "the making of...."

oops, got it wrong on friday when i said it was 10 days till recording, sorry! it's actually a week from this coming tuesday so that makes it 9 days from now. still exciting. not much to report over the weekend except that i heard from reggie, the bass player and he is good for studio dates, so that's great.
this week is gonna be pretty monumental. so much is going on, so much will be determined by what happens this week, lots of business stuff happening. i'm meetin with jp on friday to go over the songs. i think it's going to be hard to decide on which songs to do! for me, well, I pretty much like all of them although i can see how some might be more immediate than others. we also want to pick 4 songs that give a good well-rounded view of me. we'll do it, it will be great.
i need to get some sleep so i will sign off now. gonna fasten my seat belt...

day 30, "the making of....."

so, here we are at day 30, really, is it day 30 already??? wow, time is racing by. not a huge amount to report today, just business as usual but all is good, moving in the exact right direction. once i know things for certain, i will talk about them more. i haven't heard from reggie, the bass player for a while, even though i've sent him a few emails. but he's probably on the road.
oh, it was great when i talked to gat [james gadson, the drummer] the other day. he said, a lot of his friends and fans watched our rehearsal on youtube that we did last year and loved it, so that's good. i'm getting pretty excited. it's only ten days till recording. i'm glad i got being ill out of the way. man, i was ill for about 8 days, one of those where you wonder, "waaah, will I ever get better?" thank goodness, yes, i did and I am. amazing how the immune system works. i don't know what i had but it was a flu of some type. anyway, enuf of that, it's had enough air time.
in case anyone wanted to see that rehearsal, it's here: www.youtube.com/marcelladetroit. it's gadson, reggie, semmi [on guitar] and luke miller on keys. unfortunately semmi and luke won't be joining me on recording, semmi is in new york and not sure where luke is at the moment. but the vibe will pretty much be the same, very funky, i can't wait. i think i'll have to take a chill pill before i go to the studio that day to contain my excitement-not really! maybe some mantras,maybe some meditation, maybe some exercise, a massage, i'll be so relaxed i might just sleep through it! ok, maybe no massage! but seriously, this feels like a new beginning-ok, ok, don't mean to get all mushy on ya, but it does. and now it feels like it's going to be on different terms: mine!! glory hallelujah, i say, glory hallelujah!! can i get an amen???

and on that note, i will say, good nite.

similar time, same station tomorrow.

love, always;

10 days till recording!!!!

day 29 "the making of......"

Ok, here we are at day 30. got some great ideas from some people on raising funds etc. so grateful for the thoughts from everyone. will address that very soon. meanwhile, it's full steam ahead.
I talked to jp today and got the drummer, gadson possibly taking his drums in the night before so we can start early enough the day of. the drums usually require the most amount of time to set up and mic properly, very important. gadson called me today to confirm he talked to the engineer at the studio about arriving the night before. it was great to talk to him, I haven't spoken to him for about a year! can't believe it's been that long. he sounded real good. he's so incredibly funky, i can't believe it, so exciting. him and reggie together are like my dream rhythm section team! ok, gotta calm down, getting too excited thinking about it. gotta relax, it is near bedtime after all, just the other side of midnight....

so, other than that, other interesting things are developing. but i can't divulge anything until it's final. sorry for the mystery, but, call me superstitious, i don't wanna jinx anything. very superstitious, writing's on the wall, very superstitious, ladder's bout to fall...[thank you stevie!]. .i know, not a great show of intelligence necessarily being superstitious; but the other side of it is, as we say in the music biz, "it ain't final till it's vinyl" meaning, until you have the physical record, or in this case, "thing" in your hand, you can't count on it.
so i leave you with that little dangling carrot. i know you won't lose sleep over it.......

day 28 "the making of....."

well, here we are day 28, four weeks since i got this bee in my bonnet about doing these recordings. got a little feedback from my post last night, and i thank everyone reading for your input and clever ideas.
meanwhile, still moving forward, got some confirmation today on start times at the studio and got the players all informed of where and when so we're all good. i'm finally feeling like myself again, yahoo! phew, that was a nasty bug, no fun at all. now that my head is a bit clearer i've been doing more practicing and playing. my voice has come back now and i'm happy about that.
more practicing to do, i can feel the effects of it. i'll meet with jp next week to discuss the songs, got to make out some charts for the musicians. we're not going to rehearse before the big day, going to keep it fresh. sometimes when you give people too much time to think, including me, it takes the spontaneity out of things. last year with the one rehearsal, i was so pleased with it. so, i'm sure this will be just as good, if not better.

off to dream land.

day 27..."the making of......"

wow, can't believe it's nearly 4 weeks since i started this! well, unfortunately, this little bug took me down a bit longer than i wanted it to. but such is life on planet earth. slowly feeling better. prepared some song files for someone who has a label today that wants his artists to do some of my songs. that seemed like hard work cuz i wasn't feeling up to par. so, have been assuming the position of: "gee, I feel great!" with a huge plastered on over the top smile on my face :-),,,ha ha. so, onward and upward, since for now that is the only place to be.
tomorrow, i will contact jp and then the band to give a start time for the recording. it's getting closer. in fact, as soon as i've done this little "bloggett" i'll email john with a request for a start time.
and now, i'm going to divulge a little secret :
originally, my plan was to do this recording with the help of my fans, or rather supporters. I was going to ask for donations and in return, offer some sort of reward, like i'd put your name on my cd, give away free songs, merchandise. i was going to do that if i was doing an entire album, following the example of my friend janet robin-who, by the way, was able to raise over 14k dollars to do a whole album, pretty good. but as i'm not doing an album, let alone, no physical release as of yet, it would be hard to put anyone's name on a digital download! maybe there's a clever way of doing that, who knows???? do you??? but now, since i'm just going to do an ep, taking it one step at a time, i'm looking into other options. i do already have a company lined up to do an online release. this could possibly turn into physical sales depending on numbers sold. all in all, i think i will keep going in this direction. i also have been approached by someone else, could also be very interesting and promising.
of course, if anyone is actually reading this, I'd like to hear your feedback on the idea of taking donations, i.e., raising money to record and also any suggestions for what I could offer in return for donations: free mp3's of unheard or unpublished material, a sliding scale of merchandise, or rewards, depending on the amount of the donation? [oh, no sexual favors, in any way shape or form!!!]
I'd love to hear any feedback. cuz, the internet is potentially full of many onlookers, but right now, for all i know, I could really be in this alone!! :-)

day 26, "the making of...."

well, due to my illness I didn't get much done today except for some business things, but I am feeling much better. so, tomorrow I will check with jp about getting together and discussing songs that we'll be recording. it's hard for me to choose just 4 songs! there are so many that I love at this point and that I'd like to do, but I still think it's a good idea to just do a few. so, will make it a point to meet and discuss.

also, got to get the word to gadson and reggie aboutt the start time. have to confirm that with jp too. all this and more....tomorrow.

days 24 and 25

well, waaaaah! have been in bed with nasty bug all day today, so not going to write too much now. hitting the bed again in a minute. as it's the weekend, not much to report but, once monday kix in again, the games will begin again. all going as planned.

except for the way i'm feeling right now, although better than when i woke up.

day 23 "the making of...."

Ok, so here we are, day 23. I do have a little more progress to report. I talked to JP today and we sorted out the band now. I'm happy I'll be playing guitar too, and that JP agrees that since I'm the artist, it will set the mood. Another producer I worked with last year wouldn't let me play one lick of guitar on any of the songs we did. most likely because he was a guitarist and wanted to do it all himself. oh, i just thought he let me play on one thing, but no, come to think of it he didn't. not good. it's not about my ego. it's about the music, my artistry, what it's all about. v. important, and i'm so tired of that kind of attitude anyway, "you're a chick, you can't really play" and have had some of da boyz laugh and say, oh isn't it cute, look at her play. hmm. well, yes, i do play, alright i ain't no jimi hendrix or eric clapton, but i do ok, so it's all good. i'll be playing all the rhythm guitar on all songs where it's needed and we'll be having this great musician named jon cleary play some lead and more keyboards on stuff which is great and maybe another guest here and there.

going to get an early night to beat this little bug that's trying to get me. up early and outta here to see an old friend.

Day 22 "the making of....."

well, today has been very interesting indeed. some crazy stuff going on, and without getting too specific, i can say, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....in a good way. but again, not counting any pint sized chix until they hatch. it's all beginning to take shape.

no word from jp today, he's got lots of projects going on as one would expect. I'll give him a ring tomorrow.
right now, I feel exhausted and will have an early night and dream of the reality of what tomorrow might bring.

Day 21 "the making of....."

Oops, I missed a day! well there was some important news to report yesterday. i got home late last night from singing with some mates down at a local club here and checked my email before going to bed. someone has expressed some interest in helping me get my music out there. I can't divulge too much except to say, that now makes two possibilities for a release with some viable companies. but, i will not go counting my chickens until they hatch, as the saying goes. if everything that was ever said would happen, happened, well, wouldn't it be a lively world???
I will use that as yesterday's blog and will now do another one for today.....

love always;

marcy

Day 20, "the making of....."

well as someone said to me today [in an email] "you are getting there slowly but surely and yes, it's true. i don't think i've made one thing clear: i am not doing an entire album. at this point, I am doing 4 songs. that was my initial decision and right now that's all i'm doing for many reasons. I am funding this on my own. i'm funding everything on my own at this point. what the h*ll, if we go under, well at least i've done something good for my soul. i've been waiting so long for other people to come along and help mostly financially, and guess what? ain't nobody nowhere. but you never know. i'm starting to meet some people who might want to do that kind of thing. I say, 'never say never' cuz ya never know.

today, well, not heard much from jp. i've pretty much made up my mind on the four songs i want to do. i wish we could do 5, i wish we could do an entire album, i wish there was healthcare for everyone in america, i wish there was world peace....ah, one thing at a time. and at this point, one, or rather, four, songs at a time. well, if i can sneak another one in there, it would be very good.
i went and picked up my two acoustic guitars today. they were in repair, one bridge was coming off, the other, the action was messed up due to the neck being a bit wonky. all's fixed, sounding great. can't wait to use them to record and to do some live gigs.

will follow up with jp tomorrow on things. got lots of other stuff to do, mp3's to send, meetings to arrange. things have never been so unsure, yet things have also never offered so many different possibilities. i suppose it all depends on how you look at it.

Day 19, "the making of....."

well, just got home from a night into l.a.. i went to hear some bands, some people i know were playing. the first band was a rock vibe, very loud, but all great musicians and singers at a club called the joint on pico. then i was in the mood for something funky so i went to see a friend of mine who's hosting monday nights at a place called the libertine on sunset. walked in and everybody, including the audience, was singing and dancing. i haven't seen people having so much fun in a club in a long time, it was very encouraging. and inspiring.
re: my record, today, i exchanged several emails with JP regarding guitarists. we both have our favorites and will hold out for the person we want. it's all moving in the right direction, that's for sure. we should have that straightened out by the end of the week. site's almost ready, just ironing out a few more things and making some decisions on content.
meanwhile, i've got a nightclub set up in my living room and i'm enjoying singing and playing. now, maybe it would be a good idea to play outside of my house??? i think i'll do that, very soon.

until tomorrow.

love always;

marcy x

Day 18, "the making of......"

well, the weekend's over, time to get busy again. hopefully not everything that happens this coming week will be bad! i was a little surprised by some information regarding some of the publishing on a few of my songs this past week. i'll more specific later, and most likely somewhere else, like on twitter, since this is really the place to keep track of my progress with the recording of my new songs.
so, as i said, yesterday, the new site will be ready very soon. this is quite important as we'll be using it as proactively as possible as a promotional and marketing tool. once it's ready, sometime this week, i will divulge all the details, a few surprises too.
just fyi, the site that's up now, www.marcelladetroit.com will still be up, for a little while anyway. i have to say, I was so fortunate to have this wonderful person in germany volunteer to create that site for me as a favor! he has been truly wonderful and i so appreciate all his hard work, posting everything up there for me when i needed it done, it was so kind and he didn't want anything in return. wow. there are good people out there; i'm lucky to have some of them in my life. now, we're in the process of creating this new site that I can alter, add to, modify, whenever i feel the need. v.important for what i'm about to do.

so, i must get to bed to prepare for the onslaught of the next few days. gonna be crazy...

Day 17...."the making of...."

Yes, I was about to write, "it's the weekend and there's not much new to report". but then I remembered, my number one man worked his behind off today, adding things to the new site. we should be ready for everyone to visit it sometime next week. very exciting. it's fresh, it's simple, it's to the point. can't wait to unveil it.

still full steam ahead on the recording front. had a great time tonight at a party for a friend of mine named robb lawrence who's written a very cool biography on the one and only les paul. he was fortunate enough to meet with him and get it all from his mouth. very cool. i'll try to put a link up here for robb and his book. i think some might find it very interesting. i also met with some very interesting people tonight, diane, maria and kacey, all singers, great women. i miss singing with other women especially, doing some fun chorale stuff. so we're making it a point to get together and do just that. very soon.

tomorrow will be a real day off. looking forward to that. but, i will definitely do a blog, it's in my blood now.


our friend alex had a sudden heart attack, way too young for that sort of thing! i know anyone reading this doesn't know him but if you can spare a prayer, please say one for him.

Day 16, "the making of....."

Well after a very stressful week, I took the day off! well, almost completely anyway. I had a song I was working on for a while and did a quick mix of it and sent it off to JP. waiting to hear back from him about the possible guitarists we're looking at getting on the session. there are tons of guitarists here in la.. I have not been working with anyone specifically, jamming with a few. picking the right guy is tricky. but it will happen, i'm not worried about it.
even though it was a stressful week, there was lots of good news as well. so, i'm going with that for now. i did go sing at my friend janet robins gig tonight, it was fun, good to get out of the house and out of my head! i met up with a v. cool person i worked with around 9 years ago or so. she said she'd like to help out if I need any help with pr once the music is done, she's good at getting the word out. also, gonna hook up with someone else involved in independent releases, so all's good and moving forward.

and now for that wonderful state of bliss: sleep!! ah, yes...

Day 15, "the making of....."

Well, it's been a long week and it's Thursday night. I had some very good news today. A fantastic keyboard player has agreed to be part of my recording. I saw him play a few years ago with Gadson at a club here in L.A, and I never knew how great he really was until this particular night. He's more well known for a different kind of music, I never knew he was so soulful. So, I'm very excited about this. Unfortunately, the guitarist I was hoping to get is not available. But we will find the right person.
John Porter told me of that news earlier today. We also talked about which 4 songs I should do and wanted to do. We seem to be on the same page with 3 or them, we are just working on deciding about the last one. We'll get there. I've got so many songs that I really love and believe in and that I'm so close to and that makes it hard to make a decision. I'd love to do them all, make a triple album! but.....that ain't gonna happen this time......
I had news from a publisher I had a meeting with last week that they aren't interested in my catalogue, but I've got two others that are. And, the ones that are, are very enthusiastic and respect what I've done, whether I've done it in the US, or, the UK. I need positive people around me and those are the ones who are coming into my life and wanting to be there. So, it's all good and I'm thankful for it.

And that's that. Gonna have an early night. I'm doing a guest vocal spot for my friend Janet Robin tomorrow night in LA at the hotel cafe. She starts at 9pm and asked me to sing a song with her, so that will be fun.
Ah, almost forgot; we are still working on the new site, we put more information up on it this evening. I really like it, lots of new things my other site didn't have like a FAQ's page. Also a page where you can do social networking, i.e., links to youtube, this page, flicker for photos, facebook. We'll have some other cool stuff up there too. it will be simple, modern and easy to use. Not sure when it will be complete, but it will be very soon.


Eyes at quarter mast..

Day 14, "the making of....."

So, here we are at the two week mark. I suppose I've accomplished quite a lot. We are in the process of setting up a new site for me and are adding things to it every day. There are some technical things we are dealing with, learning curves and all that, but it's getting there.
We have also set up a new youtube page for me and have uploaded a few fun things for your viewing pleasure. I just want to wait until we've uploaded a few other things before I make it known. More info will be coming to you soon, by Monday we hope to have things actually working so get ready, we're comin' atcha, yeah!!

Had kind of a depressing day today due to some business issues, ah you gotta love the music business; it's so full of wonderful little surprises. Anyway, I went out tonight and sang with some friends of mine and it helped quite a bit.

off to dreamland, see you tomorrow, same channel, similar time..

Day 13, "the making of...."

Hmm, not much news today except that the drummer, Gadson confirmed with me that he is definitely on for the 1st and 2nd of September which is great. I also talked to JP today and he is waiting to hear back from the guitarist we want on the record. The keyboard player he suggested may not be available, we may have to find someone else, but there are a few that I feel would be great for the record.
Other than that. business as usual. I'm creating a new website which will be up and running soon. They sure don't make it easy to do these websites, got me/us scratchin' our heads goin', "huh"???????

But we will get there, we always do.

More to report tomorrow.

Love always;

Marcy x

Day 12, "the making of....."

Wellll, got a lot to report today. Very happy to say I heard back from the drummer Gadson and he is on for the studio. John [Porter] called me today and said he's going to call the guitarist and keyboard players to confirm their availability and will let me know as soon as possible.
As soon as I woke up today, I got online and took care of a lot of things, emailing people. had a meeting with my number one man, we're setting up a new website for me which will have some cool stuff on it. I won't say until I know for sure, and I don't want to give it all away right now!! but it's a-comin'. Also, still gathering information and doing research on my game plan. It's all coming together very nicely I'm happy to say. I may be doing some gigs in the l.a. area later this month too, we'll see, as long as it doesn't interfere with my rehearsing and recording plans.
Incidentally, I've got a nightclub-ish, set up in my living room. It's fun; I have a p.a. set up (well, it's actually my fender bassman amp with an echo unit hooked up to it) that I'm singing through and playing my cute black baby grand piano. i just love my piano. got it a few years ago and have always wanted one. I am a very lucky girl!!!!!! and I'm very grateful. I will get the guitar out and start playing that more. Lately, I've just been piano crazy! I'm trying to rehearse an hour a day.

More work to do this week but of course will blog every day as the journey unfolds.

Day 11, "the making of...."

Well, today being Sunday, I didn't think I'd have much to report, but.....I went over to visit John [Porter] today, just a social visit, really. We sat out on his porch overlooking the Pacific. it was a gorgeous afternoon, wispy clouds off in the distance had finally cleared away, making it quite glorious. We just talked and listened to some music and he brought up the fact that yes, we are indeed booked in the studio for the beginning of September and he confirmed it. I'm not going to cancel the other studio that's on hold, just in case. So, this was very good news. I will email the band tomorrow and let them know we are on. Very exciting. I've got lots of emailing and communicating to do tomorrow, plus i'll be figuring out the game plan. It's gonna be a very busy week.

Off to dreamland.

Day 10, "the making of...."

Ok, so here we are on a Saturday. As it's the weekend, there's not really much happening. I had a day off which I feel I needed!! Been a long week and I'm proud to say I gathered lots of information all week which is integral to my mission.
We may head out to meet with John Porter tomorrow, depending on whether or not he is available. We'll see. Other than that, I've been contacted by the potential publishers with questions which is good according to my lawyer! I suppose any form of communication, especially the kind that they are displaying, is positive.

I'm feeling optimistic. I am going to join my friend, Janet Robin here in L.A. on Friday at her gig at the Hotel Cafe. She asked me if I wanted to sing a song with her on her set so she'll come out to my place to run over the song with me. And I will talk to her more about her dealings with her independent release and how she managed to raise the money to do it.

All good. All's well. And with that I will say: goodnight LA!

love always;

Day 9 "the making of...."

Ok, so I said I should be doing this blogging earlier but i guess there's something I just need to accept about myself: I am a night owl. ok, so now i understand and i will no longer chastise myself for being what i am. well, i'll try anyway.
so. let's see,what can I impart today? I had a few meetings, one in regard to my publishing which went very well. I like this company I went to see. They seem to be very proactive and seem to be interested in future music, not just back catalogue. in fact, they are helping one of their signings get a record deal which I liked hearing about; hopefully that was gratuitous hype. so, we'll see what they come up with.
the second meeting turned out not to be a "meeting" per se, but more of a dinner. we chatted a little bit about the possible funding of my record but again, it was vague as usual which just makes me think I shall keep on pursuing doing this without a label's help for now. I just can't keep waiting for someone else to pull their finger out, no matter how well-intentioned they might be. I have to do this for my soul and that's that. so, come monday, once I have done some research, I will begin to seriously map out my plan and will be making some announcements shortly after that, sometime next week. if someone happens to come along and wants to be a part of it, fine, that's cool, but for now, and from here on out, the ship will be steered by me.

i'll get on to john again on monday and see how the studio plans are looking and also contact the band again.

i will enjoy the rest of the summer in the process. and this weekend, i shall enjoy doing one of the things i find difficult to do: relaxing!

love always;
