Progress Shmogress: Rushing Art
“You can’t rush art -” is what I keep hearing in my head over and over again – The quote comes from Toy Story 2. Why I keep hearing it is a two fold booty: 1st booty fold – My first album when all is said and done is going to take a year longer than I wanted it to and the quote helps me feel a little better about it. Plus I know when I am finished I will be 99% happy with the final product, which is much better than sending music into the world that blows. 2nd booty fold – I recently saw the Toy Story 3D double feature with my wife for a date. Now that we have those out of the way on to the good news!! ….
All mixing and mastering is finished!! Anyone that has been working on something for a long time, whether art, a business, making babies, or whatever it is – will know what it is like to experience a positive end result/effect of the work. It was an exciting day! Now all the details of the album art need to be put together and I need to round up the funds to make all the CD’s and we are in business! After that look out for a release party! I plan on renting out a cool venue and having free food and stuff. Rock on amigos!
Let me know on the release party! I am there with my rock and roll bells on and jingling!!

True you can’t rush art. But, I have been patiently waiting for that seductive beat of “Slave Away”. I have to be honest I don’t know if I can wait any longer. So, I have made up my mind to start stocking you. It will be all in fun and think of it as preparation for when you are a rich and famious:~)

Ohhh I love it when you post!
I sooo totally hope we can crash your release party! I’m excited for you… and I’m so with you on the not rushing art! 
I needed to be reminded of that myself! I give you two thumbs way up and 17 gold stars… but 5 isn’t enough!

Yah, no rushing art. It took me nigh unto a decade to get my book in the final edit and published
But when you hold the physical manifestation of your blood, sweat, tears, and sleepless nights it is a magical moment! Can’t wait to celebrate with you. Maybe we’ll bump into each other touring 
Hug that mom for me!
