Getting Ready

It's been a busy week. We've been learning...or re-learning some of our tunes for this run of shows. It's as much for ourselves as anything. It's is to fall into playing the same tunes, they're comfortable..like old shoes. There comes a time though when it's time for something new, in order to keep the passion alive for each performance. This has a been a good week of music making, but the hardest thing of being an independent musician is juggling it all. I just finished getting our DVD/CD ready for send to itunes. Organizing metadata..metadata!! WTF!! ..yes "metadata", that's the official nerd term for "information" (about the release). Then there's ISRC codes, like social security codes for every track. Meanwhile, Jenn's organizing details with the venues and press, hotel rooms etc etc.. etc... Anyway, I'm glad to get those things done and then getting ready for our California run next week. It's always nice to get back on the road and focus solely on your music, at least for two hours every night. That makes it worth it. We've been in touch with some friends and look forward to making some new connections while we're there. Tomorrow we're getting some new photos (in Athens).
