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;
