Like I said in my Lost post below, a lot has been happening lately. For example: This weekend I had two shows! I performed in the lobby of the Rossmor building during the St. Paul Art Crawl. Hey, a show's a show, right?

I got a full hour each time. I got to make a set list. It was all very exciting.

I wasn't mic'd or amped, but the acoustics in that space were amazing. No mic or amp needed.

And I also whipped up a cd to sell. Well, I was giving it away and asking for donations. I sold 3 of them...to friends. But, that's something. It has 5 songs on it all recorded at home. I put the packaging together myself, and it shows. But I wanted to have something to hand out.

My plan is still to make a "real" record. I just need to figure out how. I could continue to make them at home, but I want a drummer. I think my songs would really benefit with drums added. Or I could just put out a pure folk album. But I have too many ideas for my songs to just do that.

I also need to get a new guitar. Every time I pick up my guitar, another piece is missing from it. It's falling apart. I have other guitars, but I don't like to play them. They just don't feel right, or sound right, to me.
