Here goes…the lead up was intense with two weeks of solid work….then as i left work at 3pm, the phone started to buzz away as the well wishes and organizational calls started to arrive…it was intense to be in 20 minds at once. trying to get every detail of the show to fall into place. then when i got onstage, it was finally time to relax. i had alot of players from the album who are great to play music with, because they are so darn good at it and so very passionate aswell! so we kicked out the jams, got some grooves goin and even got a crew dancing for an extended version of ‘Ashes’. i was very stoked with the turn out of friends and their associates. it was a bit of a word of mouther as the press thing didn’t happen, basically because i have only just got my own computer..and despite my persistance..
i still type at around 15 words a minute and i find sending group emails a challenge to say the very least. tah for those of you getting emails and correspondance off me for not havng ago at my briefness and lower-case text message-like messages. anyhow, the venue was really nice, set up with candles on the tables, a fire and nice wall papering…., i hung 2 umbrellas, 2 paintings, had 2 modified plastic trees, 2 beach balls, 2 great support acts, 2 film clips show, 2 expressive dancers, a full run through of the album track for track and an encore after all that. i was overwhelmed and really happy to have the support of my family, friends and everyone there on the night……so now the forward momentum must be maintained as i try to navigate online distribution and promotion…. it’s all new to me, and yet i am proud of the music and will give it my best to share the music with as many people as possible.
the cd has my artwork in there and a real personal flavour that differs from what i have been playing live, busking and from what my old band The Deconsummers used to belt out. the next album solo is alredy mapped out, due to the first one taking so long to incubate. we live and learn about the steps…thinking aloud on this one is allowed i think. it’s like the personal has to be aired, so the public can get that outta the way. my buddy once said that he has to take the bedroom onto the stage with him, so he can become that guy strumming guitar ,puorin his heart out like no one’s listening. this personal feeling is the real deal. just close your eyes, then sing!
