Promotion and Production Mode

It's all about promoting the record right now.  The album is doing well, although it could be doing better but I'm happy with it and how the fans are responding to it so far.  The love affair is still greater in Europe and in Ireland particularly.  This came as a bit of a surprise to me but I welcome it with open arms, and although it's not the land where I was born...I'll take it! Thank you all!!  Most of the promotion includes a mere introduction of my music and the intent to get booked for shows in the coming year.  Fortunately I have my little team of soldiers helping me with that and they all know who they are, but I'm very grateful to all of them.  It does in fact...."Take a village".....and my little village is always hard at work on my behalf!  In addition to getting booked we're hooking up the band with introductions, auditions, and rehearsals.  It's always awkward at first but that all quickly goes away once "the jam" starts.  It's exciting to be able to hand pick the players you want to stand on stage beside you.  So far, that process is going well.  All this at the same time as making "The Video" too.  This will be my first official music video and all I can say is, "Wow!"  I had no idea how much went into the production of a real music video!  I'm in one accord with the entire process from start to finish....How cool is that!  It's incredible to see your idea, your art, your gift, your Baby take on a life of it's own!  It's incredibly empowering and liberating.  I just have a feeling that once I get started, making music videos that is, there will be absolutely no stopping me after that!  I must admit however, I'm a little tired physically and mentally from the day to day process and I haven't even left for the tour yet! Whew!  I know I can do it though....you see, my help and my strength both come from up above.  Amen.
In closing, I'll share with you these chosen words of my inspiration....'Father, thank You for all You have given me, for all You have taught me, and for all the good times still to come.  Amen.'
