Blog moving

I have moved this blog over here: http://bmsrecords.blogspot.com/ because it makes things much easier for me. This will stay up for a while as I have no plans to get rid of it yet, but all updates will be on the other site from now on.

Daily posting is difficult

So far this daily posting has resulted in every other day posting as I remember to do it. But not bad I must say, but it's not even been a week, so hard to say how much I can stick to it. The other problem... what the hell do I write about? I've picked up my guitar maybe 5 times since I last posted. I've been playing Change is Hard, Ain't No Rest For the Wicked, By My Side, Big Plateau, The General, Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, and then messing with some incomplete material that may or may not ever finish. OF course, most of this was last night. My wife was at school and while I have plenty to of stuff to do around the house as we are still settling from the move, I watched the Carrie Underwood special and played my guitar a bit. Yes I watched Carrie, Not bad, hell she had Dolly Parton on. That's awesome. And Carrie is a hell of a singer. The production value is something to envy for sure.

Otherwise, I am getting excited about the prospects of managing my friend's band. I have already sent him a few emails on what to do. He asked a simple question and so far my answer has been the equivalent of drinking from a firehouse. Clearly this is something I've been mulling over for many years. I could do it had I the time, but more importantly, if they just do what I tell them, they will do very well. Problem is, doing what I tell them will be difficult.

Ok, maybe I did have something to say afterall. It's not like I don't think about music nonstop on a daily basis. Now if I could transform thinking about it into time for it. That would rock.

managing

So I missed posting yesterday, but being a busy weekend, that's not exactly surprising. I have managed to remember today, and while there is not much of an update with music, my friend Dan has asked me to manage his band No Quick Fix. They are good guys who really love this music stuff. I have played in previous bands with them including Shotglass and Chuck from Jebus is with them now. I could certainly help them, I just hope I have time to help them. We'll see how that works out. Otherwise, I almost have Change is Hard down though not much chance to play the guitar otherwise this weekend. Saw some friends who now live in Hawaii, Chris and Michelle and their newborn, Haylie, last night. Also ate dinner with Mac and Christian and their girlfriends on Friday. Otherwise, we are still fixing up the house, bought a new couch and looking for a crib and glider and other baby things. Back to work tomorrow and another busy week ahead.

Speaking of Change

I need to make a New Year's Resolution to myself. And I can start right away. I'm going to _try_ and post something new every day. It should ramp up motivation to get started even if events of this month may not give me much time. It's not like anyone reads this, in fact, I'm pretty certain that no one other than me has ever even seen it (I've never advertised it to anyone). But being that it's a supposed to just motivate me, when I finally get that album done, I can say this was the journal... years in the making...

Change is Hard

Indeed it is. But this song by She & Him rules my world right now. It's so good. I was just looking up Zooey, that actress from Elf, because she is such a good singer. Her version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is my wife and my's song that we danced to at our wedding. So she has an album. Very good stuff, but I've now learned to play "Change is Hard" and I can't stop. It's so good.
