After months of recording and waiting for the release date it is finally here!
So much time has past since I first started this song writing adventure. Now I am up to my ears in learning new systems to get my music out to the public. I am often frustrated by the difficulty of some of the advertising pages being suggested. I spend hours just trying to find some of the tools they say you need. Also, the amount of money per month one can spend on this endeavor is astounding. Nevertheless, I have prevailed.
My first release Country Hot is suppose to be distributed on April 1, 2021 or April Fools Day. I am hoping that is not an omen! It has been celebrated for centuries in several cultures. But the exact origins of the day is still unknown. Whatever the history may be for this prankster day, my song is being released on that day. It is the first in a series of one per month for about 8 months. I am hoping that is the day of release and no one shouts “April Fools.”
I am back in the studio recording three more songs. The first ‘The Ghost of Tombstone” has an Americana theme. My producer Chad Quist is a progressive rock musician and I think he is wondering why the heck I would write a song like that. A lot of my listeners are older adults who still remember artists like Marty Robbins, this song is for them. The second song was a prayer I wrote when frustrated with the things happening in our government and the world during Covid 19. called ” God are You Listening.” The last song is about what it feels like being an older singer in a room filled with younger country dancers and a call out to other singer/songwriters. It is called, “Move Over Girls.”
I hope you will go to your favorite platform and listen to the first song “Country Hot”. It as co-written with Chad Quist. Until we meet again, have fun and enjoy life. Sometimes, it is not as long as we would like it to be.
