hurry up and get here


is it Spring yet? this Winter is killing me. i'm not even in a wintery place and i'm ready for it to be over. i need some renewal, some rebirth. i feel like Springsteen....i wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face. a strange thing to feel restless whilst wandering. maybe i'm just home-sick. but when i get home, i want to purge. i need to shed the old stuff and exfoliate my life a bit. it's time to let the new stuff really OUT.

a change is coming. or will come, after i start working smarter towards it. a big personal one for me, actually. i'm making a break for it! . i've been wandering through the soundscape of the music world for several years now....floating along, making recordings, trying to improve my skills....but with no real plan. and it's time to step up with a plan.

the past few weeks i've been slowly coming to realizations that others have been easy to see. but i was inside and couldn't see it. simple things that i could say and do to help improve my status as an indie. spreading the word, the new music, everything.

but i say "i'm no business person. i don't know how to do this!" but that's a ridiculous statement. it doesn't matter that i didn't know how to do any of the stuff i now know how to do, before i learned how to do it. i simply did it. and now i know how to do stuff. and this time is no different. it's just time to be the person with the vision. and to write this vision down in words on a piece of paper. and to truly develop a real, long-term plan with definite goals, rather than just wander! ing along, hoping to be seen by a person with more money, powe! r, and c onnections than myself.
and finally, a distinction. Kristin Putchinski can no longer be on stage with ellen cherry. it sounds weird, but ellen cherry has to start standing on her own.
