Tommy ends, song a month

April 24th, 2007 | Comments: none

Sunday night we played our final show of Tommy. The last weekend’s crowds were large and exuberant, which is just how we like ‘em. It was a fun show, but I’m okay with it being finished. Now I can turn my attention to…

My New Years resolution this year was to write a song a month once I’d finished my CD. I was inspired by Jonathan Coulton’s “Thing a Week” project where he wrote and recorded a song every week for a year (!). Day jobs and such being what they are, it wouldn’t be feasable to try and pull that off myself. But I think a song a month is quite achievable yet it’ll force my creativity just enough to be really good for me. I figure if I tell enough people about it I’ll have to stick to it. This month is going to be tough because Tommy and finishing the CD took up most of my time, and now I only have six days to whip something up. It’ll happen. Stay tuned.

I updated the site some with a new page all about the new CD, and uploaded an MP3 for “Buenos Aires,” so there are now five of the CD’s nine tracks available for download. It’s my hope enough people will purchase a CD that I can roll that money into a couple small upgrades to my studio setup, but as always I’m most interested in getting the tunes out there and hoping people enjoy listening as much as I’ve enjoyed creating, so that’s my compromise.
