15th June 2000
It’s time for another songwriting retreat. A friend asked me when I expected to release my next CD and as I answered, I realized I had a complete timeline in my brain. I just hadn’t spoken it out loud. And you know that when you give language to something, you give it power. I answered that I was going on a songwriting retreat in June to complete the new music I had been writing since last year. I would then give a concert of all the new material in process sometime in August, gather musicians around me to create arrangements of the tunes in the fall and finally… I would go into the studio in November or December and record all the music for a January or February release date. Who knew all this information was lurking in my head?! I will keep you posted as to my progress.
Here are images of my cottage on the the Northern California Coast. That odd fish-shaped thing is a carved wooden shark with a diver’s fin stuck in its jaws. Owner’s sense of humor! It’s part of the view when I’m working at the piano, staring out the window.
