My band mates and I are learning to enjoy the journey of creating an album and being sure we love the aberration of works after the infatuation part has faded. We have 10 very strong pieces of music that we are constantly twirling with..because, like in a relationship, we must go through the seasons to understand all the shapes and moods in order be sure of our lifetime.
Some could say this is an excuse but we have to do it right this time. I have band-mates that have admonished me and my efforts and inturn have challenged me to do better (but only after I got all defensive)...
The reason my title is anticipation is because we are waiting to hear back from our grant application. We have received a few teasers in the mail; one flyer and one returned support material but no reply yet. This grant will give us the freedom to record the album the proper way, at cbc studio with the 1963 steinway. My co-writer and I have funded all 3 of our albums with the help of friends, family and no savings account...we hope this time we get the support from the Arts Council.
Thank you for reading.
