My Father's Day

My father’s day is something I will never forget. I went to visit my first daughter Faith’s Grave only to find that someone had stolen her grave marker. My wife and I could not afford a stone so we got a custom heart shaped heavy duty marker that had been securly in the ground for 3 years. The wind did not take it, that we know. it was stolen. How do you steal a child’s grave marker? What little faith I had in humanity is now completely gone. I don’t even feel the music any more, everythign seems so much darker now.

I should not quit my day job.

Damn, I guess I can’t quit my day job, lol. When I released my book last year I never expected to get rich but to date I have sold an astounding number of books…..2. Yep’s that right, 2 books and I know who bought them. My friends Aunt and my other friend’s ex girlfriend. 2, wow. anyway when I released my CD not long ago, I had the same expectations but my expections were certainly too high it appeared, lol. I sold so much I could retire….0. That’s right, I sold nothing, nada, zilch. when I saw that on my LULU.com account page I started laughing, so I would not cry, lol. Like the book I advertised like crazy, dozens of online classifieds and craigslist and even several press releases through sites like PR.com with zero sales as the result. Oh well, I must really suck. I am curently putting together an EP of songs that I did not put on my CD “delusions of grandeur” but now I am not so sure. I have no Delusions of Grandeur (pardon the pun) about my success but damn, 0 copies sold. I thought about it and I realized that it’s not about money or success, it’s about creating something, creating music and putting it out there with the possiblity that someone gets it and enjoys it. Money and success should be an afterthought, a reward if you will but not the sole reason to create music. either way , I still think I suck. One last thing, I can’t believe the talent that is on Ourstage, thank god for this site, it’s awesome.
