Well, that was something else. Ellie’s release show last night was quite a success. The clicker at the door counted just shy of 100. 96 to be exact. The room felt full, probably because it actually was full. That makes for really good atmosphere. Something in the neighborhood of [...]

Well, it’s set to release at the end of the month. All the loose ends are starting to come together and I think it’s gonna be a pretty awesome thing. This week, I got to hear the final mixes of the songs and I couldn’t be happier! The mastering will be completed [...]

Unexperienced Unrequited Love songs
Posted in Music on August 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This week I started writing my first unrequited love song. Yes, there are millions out there, but none by me. I guess I just never had the personal experience to really inspire me to write such a song. But I was listening to a lot of Jonatha Brooke one night and this [...]

Well, with all the traveling and such we haven’t taken the time to drop our pictures on the computer, but we finally did today. We have such fun pictures from the past month including 2 trips to Nashville and a trip to the beach. I ‘ve uploaded about 25 pictures onto our flickr [...]
Checking in from Nashville
Posted in Family, Music, Work, neighbor on July 21, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Right now I’m sitting in a teeny little pizza joint that seems to be located around the block from “music row”. Andrew Osenga is playing an acoustic set, and the local Nashville brew Yazoo is flowing (I’m imbibing “Dos Perros”, which for those of you who don’t habla Espanol, means “Two Perros”). Osenga started [...]

One of our favorite singer-songwriters, Andrew Peterson, is recording a new CD right now. He’s been posting funny updates of his recording experience at his blog. You should visit it for two reasons. One, he’s cool and the people he’s recording with are cool. Two, he’s recording at Paul Eckberg’s studio, [...]

Ellie has begun recording her first CD in Nashville this week with a favorite musician of ours, Andrew Osenga. Thursday she and Andrew recorded basic acoustic guitar and vocal tracks, mostly for the purpose of giving the drummer and bassist something to play along with (“scratch tracks”). They recorded at Sputnik Sound (click [...]
Thinking around the box

So Andy and I were up too late talking about how to creatively get people to really support me with my songwriting and performing endeavors. One of the things that is difficult about the style of music that I play is that it’s much more “coffeehouse” than “bar”. But if I do play at coffeehouses, [...]
I don’t know how military wives do it

Andy has been out of town for a total of 4 days now and he comes home tomorrow. I especially miss him at night, it’s so much easier to fall asleep with him next to me. Last night, around midnight, I wasn’t ready to go to bed yet so I picked up my [...]
