This has been one helluva month already! Starting out with my amp blowing up and going thru all the processes to get a vintage piece of equipment repaired back to a working state, Mothers Day, Birthdaze, Remodeling a 100 year old house, landscaping, PLUS working too...Yaknow?? Makes focusing on musical projects, let alone delegating time to put forth a worthwhile effort into them quite a chore. All the guys in INVOKING SCARLETT would like nothing more than to spend all our available time rehearsing, recording, and such in a combined situation so that we can freely exchange ideas and move forward with as much haste as getting these great song ideas captured properly, will allow. But the distance between us is problematic. James drives an hour to practice and I have a two hour jaunt...So we have to work with reality and play with the cards dealt! This could be considered as divine intervention to keep us from letting our excitement level goad us into putting material out there, that is not well thought out, and not as good technically as it should be! It does give us time to mentally edit each song, each measure, change, note, bridge, vocal strength, harmony lines, and such... The business of Music has changed to the point that we as artists and performers had better be on top of everything we do if we even want a half ass chance in todays musical arena. I am aware in these times of marketing non- production and keeping the hype flowing, the equity level of any project takes a hit, and that is explained on the friviolities of human nature wanting everything now! So I have no problem in taking my time to make sure that what we three do will be worth their wait! The appetite of the public will be there waiting, with swelled taste buds, when we are ready to serve up our offerings!
Onwards & Upwards!
