BTW...I'm back

After a small hiatus, I have been able to return to my therapy here in blog world. Now back and available for all the world to judge me.

Whats new...not a lot. Just a booring life. Crazy kids that continue to get older. Music, as always.

Other than that ...I'm dull. Sorry.

What to do....

Here I am faced with a small delima. A choice of money and fun versus running with my heart and not selling out. There is an opertunity for me to join a musical venture playing cover music in a band which plays all of the area casinos, major clubs, festivals, fairs and parties. This gig also pays... fairly well I might add. Now most of you would consider this a no brainer, however, here is the delima. I have and will always consider myself a singer/songwriter. A person of original material and one who has always been of the mind set of " why should I play someone elses material when I can play my own." Granted, I am not a signed musician but I do consider myself a talented musician with the ability to wright good quality songs. I am also currently involved in a project with a group of guys honing our current originals for recording and playing shows of quality. As an original group in KC, that has been a challenge. So my delima lies in this, do I leave my friends and a quality project moving foward for a project which has a strong fan base for money. Yeah, even I know which side of the fence I am leaning toward, its the guilt thing I am dealing with. Damn catholics.
