Another Year
I couldn’t think of a better title for this entry.
I haven’t written anything in a while. I’d sit down time after time, determined to put together something brilliant for this blog, something that would change the world for the better. Something truly profound.
Well, having set the bar that high, is it any wonder that I couldn’t write anything?
OK, no more excuses. It has finally dawned on me what this blog really is – it’s a diary of my experiences in the studio. What am I doing in there day after day? What is it really like to work with all kinds of musicians and songwriters? What do I think about the music business, and about making a living in music?
Sometimes, I’ll just be answering the question: what did I do today? (Or yesterday, since I will usually be writing this in the morning.)
Other times I may land on a subject that’s come to mind.
So I’ve determined to keep adding to this blog, and talk about my life as a musician and recording studio owner.
So what do I do? Those of you who have been here before know that I am a:
1. Husband
2. Father
3. Keyboard player
4. Composer
5. Songwriter
6. Arranger
7. Producer
8. Recording engineer
9. Cheerleader for singers and songwriters
10. Teacher – I teach people how to play keyboards the way I do (See my other blog, www.keystothekeyboard.com.
11. And a few other things that will undoubtedly come to mind after I post this…
Every day I’m wearing one or more of those hats. So everyday (or as close to every day as I can come) I’ll write something about it. Some days it may be just a sentence or two. After all, some days I have some long recording sessions, or I’m traveling and teaching a workshop somewhere. At other times I may really have something on my mind, and I might end up writing more than I planned.
Either way, I hope you’ll find my musings in music enjoyable, funny, and maybe a little enlightening.
Happy New Year!
