Killing My Time

Here's one from the Statica CD. Trying to learn the code'n this blogg'n takes. It's called Killing My Time.

Missed my own gig.

How dumb was that? It was traffic near the Staples Center that held me back an hour. Well that's it for live gigs for awhile. Time to concentrate on the 1rst Wednesday's Song. 4 days to go. I'm already tempted to pull something old out of my hat. But, the focus is on coming up with something totally new and fresh. Spontaneity over refinement. It took 5 years to complete the Statica CD. So I know I can fall into the trap of perfectionism .

So, how do you like my new promo pic? It's for Samick, the guitar company that endorses me. I'm cradling the Royale. Truly it's the first guitar I've ever owned that goes back and forth between jazz and rock with no change in the way it feels. It's not pricey and I love it.

The Birth Of Wednesday's Song...

... or thanks and a shout out to Jonathan Coulton who has inspired me to start posting songs every week. Jonathan is a singer-songwriter who has acheived internet superstardom viia his "Thing A Week" project that entailed him posting a new song every week for a year. Please check him out. He's got a serious fan base that he earns every day.

As for me, I'm wanting to share some of my work as a singer-songwriter. I'm playing tonight at the Spring Street Smokehouse in downtown L.A. Jonathan makes his songs available using a creative commons license which means you can pay or not or use the song to make a video with. It's pretty cool. So the batch of Wednesday's Songs is gong to be like that.

See you on the internet.
