One step forward, cough sneeze, take a nap for a week, three steps around in a circle trying to figure out which direction that first step had been in a few weeks earlier… That’s how the saying goes, yes? Well, it pretty much summarizes this last month. The best laid plans and timelines, carefully constructed to include downtime and social time stand no chance to fatigue and a stuffed sinus. (Is it ever both at once? Be honest..)

So while I continue to sing like a dying frog, and kill my band mates with bad puns I can say I think things are finally moving in the correct direction again. Yes, I said band mates! …in the cover band. And not the same ones as last time I posted but this setup looks promising. I have to say I was spoiled in WI. Finding a good group of people is actually rather challenging! We still need a guitarist but… We have a rather ambitious plan to get back on track now though, and hope to be playing out by this summer.

I am still working on my own stuff as well. Slowly. I find myself swinging between always wanting to add another layer, or another fill, and the saying my mom always used when talking about art: KISS- keep it simple stupid. I have definitely been in the mood for more straight chord “washes” to speak, and less lead riffs or secondary melodies in other instrumentation. In theory this should make finishing (and playing) things easier. Now if only I could settle on a progression.

One last update. Last post I promised some photos as soon as I figured out how to update my website. Well, they’re still in queue and the queue is getting longer but due to the outdated program/format of my site the only way to get these photos up is to build an entirely new site. So! Version 2.0 is officially in planning stage. As I have to redo everything I might as well redo everything so I am redeveloping my logo and “brand” if you will, and am planning on releasing the new site along with some new material beginning to mid-summer. -that date of course assuming nothing else big in life pops up and I don’t go and get sick again. @.@

In the mean time, if you want to see what’s new I will post a few things on my fb stream, and the lot of it on tumblr so I recommend following me there. 😉

Til next time! ~KLS
