Editing, editing, editing...

Sorry folks that I haven't been writing or posting new material. I've been running around between editing the video that we recorded at thw studio and running from gig to gig. I'll be in better chape next week.

Colombian Independence Day...guess where I'm celebrating?

Today is the 200th aniversary of Colombia's independence from Spain and I just realize how ironic it is that I'll be playing at a spanish restaurant!

Whatever happened to "I just wanna be a musician!"

Email, emails, emails...the musicians, the producer, the venue, the sound guy, the publisher, the promoter, the press, the newsletter, the blog.....aaaahhh!! I should get a job as a secretary 'cause I'm getting pretty good at this. Writing music; not really a priority for musicians these days. Nope, you gotta get your shit together and then...one day...maybe...oh what a beautiful day that will be...when I'll be able to just think about the music, the songs, the harmony, the lyrics, the arrangements, the band, the show...well, that's what I signed for when I decided to be a musician...what happened? Anyone...
