After a week of having a blog, I finally got a couple of comments! This is thrilling! One commenter complimented the song I have posted in the music player in my side bar!(its a song from one of my former groups) He said he loved the song and that it had a "deep bench". Well I'm not sure what that means, but the fact that I actually had other people read my first post is of great significance to me. It symbolizes my return to music and being a working musician again.
Speaking of that, I have some good news. I was recently selected at my day job to be, "The Voice Of ------s!" I auditioned and was selected to record voice overs for internal media and training videos that my company is creating. I have just recently started getting hired as voice talent for singing and narration and I really enjoyed the work. I am hoping to get more work of that type to supplement my income. Hey, it is music related work! I'll take it.
I am also still putting off rehearsing and learning songs for this up coming gig I have at the end of July. I am getting more nervous about it because a lot of friends from my past may be there. I have probably played and sang in front of them countless times back in the day. But I am kind of flipping out at the thought of doing it again after all this time. I am not usually one to be shy or even very nervous about performing, but it is starting to get to me. What if I sing like a rusty nail on a chalkboard? What if my fingers cramp up and I can't play guitar correctly? What if I forget lyrics to the unfamiliar cover songs? What if our backing vocals sound like a group of drunk karaoke singers after happy hour? ...um, I think I need to go practice!
Before I go, I would like to plug my buddy's blog. Go down to the blogs I follow and click on either one by my friend Jake Allen. His life as well as his postings are much more exciting than mine. I am hoping to visit him someday and help him do some maintenance on Abigail, as well as sample the local culture!
