day 48, "the making of......."

er, ever wonder why I don't complete the sentence for "the making of....." and just go dot, dot dot dot? well, probably because i'm not sure what it will end up being in the end. and that's good. I am leaving my options open. at this point, i'm thinking just finish these four songs and release one single, put one of the other songs on the b side, etc. we shall see. i've been reading about many established artists who have recently gone independent, doing the same thing. i will work very hard, once the single is decided on to get the single(s) licensed into a film or television show. [btw, i think i'm pretty sure which song it will be. the minute we started working on it, i knew it was gonna be good. i told the band to just be as funky as you wanna be with it. my demo is funky, but since it was programmed with a "machine" [they can never be as funky as real people who can really play and feed off each other] it could never be quite the same as real players. i do like modern sounding records/music though, and that will be the challenge. the other option which is a natural evolution to the first will be to do the single, and maybe another, and then depending on how it all goes, go ahead and finish a whole collection, i.e., album, cd, whatever you call it now. so, that's the plan.
haven't talked to jp yet. yesterday in my blog i said, i hadn't talked to jp since he had to spend some time with a dear friend of his that was very ill. then i said, i can't believe it's been a week since i last talked to jp. today i thought, that could be taken the wrong way and oh, people love to take me the wrong way for some reason. what i meant was, I can't believe a week has gone by since we did the recording [as in "how time flies], not that i haven't talked to jp or i was upset about that or anything. I know his friend who happens to be ill; he is a very talented, known and well-respected musician. i do hope he will be ok.
so, other than that, i felt things shifting for me last night and today i was right about that. things are starting to open up business wise and i'm very happy about that. i know this is vague but that's the way it is for now. it's just good that this is happening and i'm extremely grateful for that.

and on that note, i will say good night. got some ridiculous business [non-music] to deal with tomorrow. hope the stars will be with me on that!!! we may even film the experience and put it up for the world to see, hmmmmmmmmmm, good idea.

love always;
