be well...
whatever the random thought processes was that brought me to my journal today remains a mystery... but i'm back. maybe for a while... maybe not.
as you can see, it's mid-september... 2008. as is often the case i am writing to you from Stauf's coffee shop. also, true to form, i'm listening to David Bazan sing his falsetto heart out. the weather is changing in Ohio. things are good, transition's the word.
i've been slowly chipping away at making my third album, "be well", for nine months now... i'm pregnant with the anticipation of it's completion sometime in the next four to six weeks. It's been an amazing experience for me... some good parts and bad parts. I've spent hours trying my hand at capturing something special with my melodies and words. To be honest, i think i've captured some really good songs and feelings. There have been times with the project when i've worked completely alone... and there have been times when i've felt the support and influence of both friends and artists. And the longer i take to finish the album the longer that list of contributors grows. I think "be well" has evolved a lot as i've moved along... and it's so close.
I met with friends: Drew, Nat, and Josh, a couple days ago... i'm at the point with the recordings where i'm not only loosing energy, but i've done as much as i can do musically. there's a short list of additional parts i'd still like to add... and a couple songs i'd even like to give a shot with a full band. so, i'm working up a plan to wrap everything up with there help within month. it'll be great, because we can get everyone in one room on one day and record all the parts i need.
anyway, that's the album update...
i'm also working on bringing a band together. stay tuned.
