Today has not only begun the fourty-ninth year of my wonderful mother's life , but also my real actual steps toward being the musician I believe God wants me to be. Now I'll admit that may sound much more grand than actually necessary, but I do feel like today was an excellent step in the right direction. I spent much of my day today listening to, talking about, and even practicing music. My music, the stuff I like listening to, the kinds i want to learn from... I have never known i needed to learn so much and not known where to really start. But we started. It is so encouraging to have Luke around, not just for his knowledge in music and recording but also for his encouragment and his companionship in our common interest. It seems interesting how opportunities come alltogether sometimes. Having Luke start learning my songs and helping me get better, seeing my friend with connections to a talent agency tonight, meeting another guy who has a recording studio who I could sing/perform with sometime just for fun. All little things, but soo encouraging when, after a day of talking business, equipment and song styles, I tend to feel more overwhelmed and discouraged than optimistic about what I have to accomplish. It's a lofty goal to make music worth something and I am grateful that I don't have to do it all alone (which is what i tend to try)...I have most importantly God on my side, but it is invaluably encouraging to have two heads to put together instead of one. so it begins again...
