i keep meaning to update and every time i try i loose interest somewhere along the way and close it out.

sorry!!!  

my husband and i went to the british  pub across the street tonight.  i got id'd and adrian didn't.  he's 8 years younger than me and doesn't look OLD...  or aged maybe just mature in his style, idunno...  whatever.  may i always be id'd because i look so young!  :)  and i can't say it was because i'm short 'cuz i was sitting.  but, we went because i wanted to check out their open night.  it was sort of sad to see the poor guy who was running it have to play the whole time.  there was really no one there and so he had to pull it through.  we met the owner, who was bartending and both set up wednesdays for our bands to play.  which is super  cool!  i told him we'd play for tips the 1st time and self-promote but he's willing to pay up to 300 bucks a night if we can pull a crowd, which...  if i can concoct a 3-piece is better than serving salads and making a c-note, you know?!  

adrian said he'd play bass for my band too, so that's nice.  !  :)  we came up with a name 'kelly & co' 'cuz i don't really ever know 'who's' going to play with me.  but, i made a list the other day.  i have 23 original songs that are pretty strong and another 15 covers, plus the old and instrumentals...  

i ordered ozone 4 last night (in a drunken moment of passion).  i've wanted it for over a year.  it's an audio mastering program...  basically takes everything you record and turns it into commercial volumes et al.  i CANNOT wait for its arrival!!!  :)  i have 4 specific different audio projects that i want to see succeed.  1.  a spoken word album set to original music, 2.   my grassroots album-  me on guitar and singing with rever on bongos or congas, what we'd sound like live when we play,  3.  a produced album of what my songs would sound like if i did it track by track with not only me playing everything but whomever i deem best to do whatever and  4.  a new-age instrumental album...  something i have a real knack for and never really apply.  i like my new age songs and i like enya...  f*ck that LOVE enya & dead can dance so sc*w anyone who hates me for it!  :d

i've realized recently that visual art...  simply takes up too much space.  words, books, etc, songs...  they don't!  i think about how much time it takes to produce a visual piece of art and then how much time it takes to 'house' it.  too much.  way too much.  i'm not sure i'f i'm going to continue with visual art in the same way that i've done so in the past.  when we walked home my 4 x 7 foot painting from downtown the other day i realized how dumb it is to have these huge cumbersome items that need space which in to live...  and i have to work for that!  stupid!  very dumb...

so, i'm going to do the few commissioned pieces i have promised that i will do...  and concentrate on matted prints (ready for christmas) and the music.  

other than that....  i will get back to you with the fruits of my efforts!  soon !  super, super...  soon!  :D

best of thoughts!  :)
