Back from Millennium Music Conference. Had a successful showcase and made great friends and excellent music biz contacts. Promising meetings with publishing, record company and booking firms. Looking forward to making more progress and showcasing again at Singer Songwriter Cape May next month: http://ping.fm/OCflg

Great show at ABC Pub last night. Shared the bill with some amazing people and made good new friends. Had a interesting and perhaps promising discussion with a music publisher yesterday. More networking today.

National recognition has been way easier than local lately. I've been signed by both Musikfest 2010 in Bethlehem, PA (second year) and Singer Songwriter Cape May, NJ. I'll be showcasing Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg in two weeks, and have two Manhattan gigs in August. Still waiting to hear from the Florida festivals. Looks like an East Coast mini tour this August is shaping up.

Seems like the only way I can post something on this fan page is to double post everywhere. Get with it, Facebook! I'll be on the radio tomorrow and it'll be streamed on the web at around 3:30 WSLR 96.5 or http://ping.fm/Kd8dT

Had a fantastic time at the Orion Independent Music Fest in Park City, Utah. Next up Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA

2010-01-12T16:11:00.001-05:00

Off before the sun to Park City, Utah for Orion Indie Music Fest. Three gigs in five days seeking face time with the Sundance Film Fest crowd. A little radio a little TV. A lot of trying to say warm. http://ping.fm/9iuh1

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

2009-01-27T22:36:00.000-05:00

I'm never depressed although I find some things depressing or should I say depression worthy. And I keep reading references to this time we are in as a possible Depression. Not sure what the definition of that is if you're an econogeek. But damn! How many more jobs can be lost? There are many snarky things I could say but I'll leave that to people who do it for a living. Like Jon Stewart.

So far things are okay here despite the loss in business. I'm nothing if I'm not prepared. I'll keep it going, even though my music income is about 10% of what it normally is this year so far. There are still many things that can happen but it's a queasy feeling when your business depends on a whole bunch of maybes.

I'm in that place again where survival trumps creativity. It also trumps social time on the web. But I'm not giving it up altogether. Slowly I endeavor to stay in touch with my many cyber pals and real life pals who use the web. I've actually been richly rewarded lately in that regard. The coolest thing about having been a teacher is that there are so many lives you've touched that some of them stick with you through the years. It was worth all those years of totally crappie pay. There are laborers and office folks who made more than I did but they can't make the same claim.

I think we'll mostly come out of this downturn for the better. At least I know that's true for me because that's the way I think. Thoughts are things.
