Changes

So I've already fallen behind on this blog and my mission to improve myself as a muscician and songwriter. Well maybe I'm being hard on myself. H Is for Hellgate played our last show ever last month so that frees up some time for me to work on new projects. We Wrote the Book on Connectors is probably going to be playing less gigs so I'm thinking it's the perfect time to lock myself in the studio and work on writing, recording and studying songwriting. Speaking of WE, I will also try to help out Mike more with the We Songwriting Service. But wait, as soon as one project has sadly ended I have begun playing childrens music with Brian Vogan and two other awesome guys Kory and Jeremy. We've done a couple of gigs that have been really fun and I'm going to continue to play with them and play on Brian's second album. Playing and hanging out with these three guys has been really inspiring because they are really into not only the art of songwriting but the academic side and they love to talk about it. I fell that I can learn much from them. So I'm really excited about the possibilities I have right now. In addition to this I'm going to still be playing music with Jamie Hellgate.

So basically as soon as I thought I was not going to be busy doing a bunch of different stuff I realized I will still be doing a lot of stuff, but I need to make time for my personal development as an artist.

My first order of business will be learning how to put up songs on my blog. I will probably put ideas and songs I think are not my best (but still worth putting up somewhere) on the blog and I will save the others for putting on my website and maybe releasing an ep/album/whatever.

Which brings me to the second order of business which is making a website. Hopefully I can bribe Emily to do a lot of this for me since I have no idea how to do it. Along with this I want to update the Cookbook Factory Outlet Myspace Page as well as create a Facebook page and whatnot.

And finally the third order of business which will be to release something physical. I'm thinking I'll do a 4-5 song "ep" and do all handmade packaging. I've been inspired by some of the cd's we were making in the Hellgate Club for Musically Advanced Ladies and Gentleman and think handmade things are special.

So anyway I think we have good jumping off point here. Wish me luck.
