Yea, yea, I've been AWOL!

So, it's been forever since I posted something on any blog, having been sucked into Facebook. And then there is the studio....oh, you don't know about that. After a long thought process about what I wanted 'to do' when i grew up, i decided I don't want to grow up, so I decided to go into the  music business, and am now the proud owner of a (small!) recording studio. Most of my time is spent there, so I have little time to blog, altho I will try to remember to post on occasion!

Quick update

 Today's the last day for J in the studio. Six hours of work, then a party. I love my job!

The World turns and things change

 Wow. Just....wow. I was amazed to find out that John's idea of opening a recording studio wasn't just a dream, he's got the goods and the moolha. Oh my. And when I expressed a desire to work in the music biz as something more than just a musician, he whacked me on the head with his mojo stick, and now I'm a record producer. Just like that. My.Oh.My.Oh.My.
 I had always thought I might be interested in production, and now here I am, thrown into the deep end to sink or swim. (I hate you John, I hate you so very much.....) My first gig is Tuesday, evaluating a young rapper to see if we want to produce him. So far I'm the only producer in the stable, so I'm hoping to pick up a few more gigs and see what happens. Wish me luck!  

Band no more?

 My bass player is totally MIA. He got evicted last week, and no one has heard from him since. Even when he did have a phone he never answered it, and probably hasn't got any kind of wireless ability on his laptop. *sigh*

 I really LIKE being in a band. This was my third, and I still haven't found a group I can love. Certain members, yes, but not the band. Himitsu was fun for a long while, but I'm SO not into techno. And now some other band has stolen the name, so I really don't feel like we should use it any more. Our drummer has already gone off to greener pastures, to the band Long Vacation. Very nice group, kind of folksy and mellow. Check them out if you get the chance.

 I need a plain old rock band, or something I can play my congas or ashika. *sigh* Maybe next year.

One more time...

So, one more time I'm going to attempt the schlep over to see John. If this time doesn't pan, then he'll have to wait until he gets his own place. Getting up at 5 every morning does tend to put a damper on evening activities. I'm too old to be a rock musician!
