Spaced Out and Preoccupied
I've been a bad blogger. And now everybody in the universe probably knows it. Or could know it. If they wanted to look. Or if they were there to begin with. This blog was beamed into outer space one again. Probably when I had squat to say. Like that time I was their featured blog and they used a screen shot of one of my throw out (or throw up) blogs. That's what I get for polluting the blogosphere just to post something. Ah, karma, you cruel teacher. I lived through years of Sister Mary Confusing, don't I deserve a break?
Not gonna waste your time complaining about how busy I've been. And listing every guitar lesson and gig and recording problem. Oops, I almost did.
I think there are a number of songs about the process of writing a song. It's what we do when we can't come up with something under pressure. Unless you're John Lennon and Paul McCartney. If both of you were alive and speaking to each other. Then you could write a platinum classic on a matchbook on your way dinner on the back of a motor cycle. Because somebody needed it fast. Which is how A Hard Day's Night was done. Okay, I made up the part about the motor cycle.
Here's what I've been mulling over. One of my best students, whose name I have not gotten permission to use, has written six books on Hindu Astrology. He is very cool and so is his wife to whom I teach classical guitar. Recently he did a preliminary atrological chart on me that told some things about my past he knew nothing about. He had no possible way to find that stuff out. So naturally I paid attention when he mentioned what my immediate future was shaping up to be. He feels strongly that the next three years are a huge turning point for me in either creativity or financially or both. It's hard not to pay attention to that. I'm kind of scrambling around trying to find myself. Looking at the kind of effort I've put in so far in this business and how to take advantage as my time may be coming.
Don't want to miss the bus, you know? Even if it is the short bus.
So I'm more preoccupied than usual with two gigs coming up and my NY trip to work on the CD. I'll do my best to drop in and visit you in Blogland.
I've put back the Blogger comments because I have heard that Haloscan does not always cooperate with your various servers. I will NOT use that annoying typing test filter they offer. Damn, I hate those things. Did I ever tell you about the nun who taught me typing? Never mind, no song there.
