Testing the Waters
Lately I have been dedicating a lot of time to my first record. It is important for me to remember that a lot of the material that is going to be on the album might be a song written years ago and has to be presented with the same emotion that I had when I wrote it. I recently made a demo of 24 songs that would potentially go on the record. I then asked some friends and fans to listen to each and make me a list of the 12 strongest songs. I was very surprised as the list came in. This was a lot of fun! The first thing I know about being an artist is to trust your gutt. But sometimes it’s nice to have someone else’s objective opinion. Needless to say, the top songs met my personal list with the exception of one. I have to give that some thought but all in all this was the most productive thing I have ever done with my fans. It gave me a lot of great feedback too. Most of the listeners are not musicians and have a better ear for music than they think. Better yet, they are consumers! The people who have bought my music and will buy my music again and again. So thank you to all those who dedicated time to my little project and be looking for the special shout out! In the meantime I am moving forward to the next step. I am going over all my lyrics with a little fine tuning. Stay tuned for more album updates. Oh yeah, the #1 most voted song,….. MIRACLE WORKER!!
