Three


Work on the album is coming along quite nicely. I'm hoping to have the second and third tracks close to being finished by the end of the week. One song entitled "Nostalgia For The 1980s" is somewhat an out of place tune. I really like it but it doesn't fit with the way the album is shaping out to sound. It's a little more upbeat, smooth, not too much going on. It might be the least complicated piece of music I've composed over the last six months. Lately, everything I've recorded has been layered with textures and sounds, but this one is fairly simple, dare I say it sounds like a pop song.

I'm trying to rehearse for some live shows. I think more than anything I would love to do a show with this group of songs. I feel confident that when I get a few more things settled I will be able to deliver a mildly entertaining set. Still, I think a little more time is needed to ensure that I will go and do my best. As with the recording of the record, I feel no need to rush anything in regards to doing a live show. Patience will prove to be my greatest asset if I wish to avoid embarrassment.
