How it went, and some tentative plans...

So the show was all right, on the whole. There were sound issues (when oh when will I have the money and status to have a sound person come with me to every gig?...) and, on my part, voice issues. But the energy was high and some fun was had.

It was also good to get the first live performance of some of these songs out of the way. I wasn’t happy enough with my performance to post any recordings, but it’s always useful just to get that first public appearance behind you, no matter how it goes. "Open Horizon," in particular, started to come together in a way I liked. So did the song I have not quite named yet, the one the band refers to as "my 80s song" (eerily, Sean had separately termed it my "Bangles song"). Will Haas said he liked that one the best, in fact--surprising when a song you almost scrapped gets feedback like that. Shows what I know!

Thinking now towards the next project. Another Factor proposal may be in the works, this time for a full-length album. Don’t know yet where it would be done, or with whom... but the songs are coalescing around the ideas in "Open Horizon." That’s all I’ll say for now...

I’m hoping to do some demos at Willyboy before too long, for the purpose of the proposal. (Gotta get in that studio one more time before I don’t live here anymore.) When I do, you’ll hear them.

Love,

K.
