Searching for the melody



Well, it's been a long week! The mastering is finished and safely on a courier's truck, artwork is finished and delivered, digi download preview in the process of being tested (thank you to everyone who is participating!) and I am in the process of tying everything together, websites, MySpace pages etc....

It's all very tiring, but has to be done.....so I was VERY thankful to receive an email from Kerry M with links to this program on Bill Evans. Watching it was so interesting and confirming (does that make sense?), that it was like having a cool drink on a hot day.

You don't have to be a jazz cat to understand his concepts, his philosophy is solid and is adaptable to any system or life experience.

I was never a huge fan of Steve Allen, so if you can get through the first half of part 1, you'll do well, and by part 3 you'll be hooked (if you can get around the out-of-sinc audio). Bill is being interviewed by his older brother Harry, so it's nice that they have that connection. (It made us think about other brothers, Stevie and Jimmie Vaughan, Robben and Mark Ford....and the differences between 'talent' and 'genius', and well, it made us think of a lot of other things too).

So thanks Kerry M, for the breath of fresh air....we're nearly done our heaviest work of the year, and now finish it up with a renewed interest.
