  • Hi all

    Even if I say that I've been repeating myself, I'll be repeating
    myself. But at the risk of redundant redundancy, I'll say once again
    that time has been flying by. Here it is nearing the end of July,
    already almost a month since we got back from our trip to Newfoundland.
    The heat wave finally broke here, thanks to some nifty thunderstorms,
    though it's been quite humid. I've been overtired from the lack of
    sleep brought on by my seeming inability to go to bed at a reasonable
    hour, making me even more zombie-like than usual. Work is work, and
    there's been overtime for the taking, though despite the extra pay I
    haven't been taking much. I don't want to wear myself out any more, and
    the added fact that it takes me an hour and a half to get home by bus
    after overtime makes it even less attractive.

    Let's see. What's been going on? Well, I finally completed a recording
    of my latest song, called Upside Down, which is a good thing. As my
    loyal readers will know, I write very slowly indeed, and even once I
    get a piece completed I find it difficult to find the time to work on
    the recordings, since I need the house to myself to really get anything
    done. This is probably my most ambitious recording to date, coming in
    at somewhere around 30 separate tracks. The poor computer couldn't
    handle it, and I had to do some odd workarounds in order to squeeze in
    those last half-dozen. But I'm pleased with the way it turned out, and
    the response I've been getting so far is quite good.

    I'll be emceeing (as in introducing, not rapping) at the local folk festival
    again this year, which should be fun. I had a blast last year. It's
    this coming weekend,  and my spots are 5:00-7:45 on Saturday and
    Sunday evening. Should give me enough time to get home and clean up
    from work before I head down there, as long as nothing weird happens.

    Oy. There's more that I'd like to say, but I really should be in bed,
    so off I go. Hope all is well in your necks of the woods. Be good to
    yourselves.

    Take care
    -J-

  • Wishing you lots of wonderful things ahead

  • Terrific to hear from you, Justin. An hour and a half bus ride sounds sucky. The new song sounds wonderful. Well, not sounds like sounds but sounds like the other sounds, you know? I'm mean, I haven't heard the song but hearing about it sounds good. I'd better go now before I confuse myself even more.

  • It's nice to hear from you!!

  • I can understand.  My son's band will be opening for Ted Nugen at the county fair next week.  We always go to support him and to listen to his music.  Good luck with your new music.
