Next Semester/Postponed Shows/New Video!

School is starting back up for me on Tuesday. Last semester was one of the more difficult and stressful semesters so far. I was driving an hour one way for a class that met twice a week. I took on too much with school and a new job and just got overloaded with stuff. I hope this semester is a little less stressful. I am ready to get back into the book learning. I’m gonna be taking four classes and almost all of them will be music related. I had to take a math I guess at some point. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I got some…annoying news tonight about the show on Thursday. One of the other bands has decided to “postpone” the show. I’m not mad and it’s not like I didn’t see it coming. I’m just frustrated about it. I understand safety and the weirdness of the times we live in, I just love playing and hearing live music, and it frustrates me that it’s something that has been made so difficult. I don’t love live streams. I think they are boring. I like going to a dive bar and throwing in a nice set of earplugs (protect them ear drums friends) and watching and listening to people just like me play their original work for their fans and friends. I like to show up to a venue hours before a gig and conversing with the people that work there. I like doing sound checks and goofing off with my band mates outside of the practice room. This is one of three shows that have gotten “postponed” already this year. I’m honestly just not sure what to do about it. It makes me sad when I don’t get to play a show for a while. It’s another reason why I started school in my thirties, so I could find a way to play more and maybe one day make a good living off writing and playing my music.

Anyway, yeah the Thursday show isn’t happening Thursday. Sorry.

With all that said…I’ve got a new video coming out tomorrow! It’s the one I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. I did all the tracking and mixing and mastering in my little home studio room. I’ve already talked about it in one of the other posts here, so I won’t go into too much detail about it. This one is just straight rock and roll. You’re gonna like it.

That’s enough for tonight.

Thanks for reading,
