Songs -VS- Recordings
As I sift through what seems like an endless collection of folders...I find that there is a great difference between songs and recordings. I'm after the songs. There are certain songs that I am sure I will never play live again. On the other hand there are certain ones that I can't believe I've neglected. Guess I didn't dig the recordings. I'm getting myself geared up to play a solo show soon. I so am fighting myself every step of the way. I'm ridiculous. As if I didn't know this. My new album will be full of good songs...and good recordings. Don't know that I've ever made a decision to do that. My show(s) will be be the same. I just wanna play good songs. Songs that I have fun playing, for one reason or another. They can make me laugh...or they can make me cry. Doesn't matter. I could make a list of the poor poor casualties that have fallen by the wayside (surprsingly even) within the last couple nights...but I won't. Or, maybe I will. I have a blog now...I can write whatever it is I want. See, I'm doing it now. Don't even care.

Try not to pick songs and recordings that are too emotional. If you break down crying on stage they won't hire you back.
ReplyDeleteHa, I do think you've got the right idea. I never understood why you didn't like some of the songs I've heard of yours, I think so many are fantastic. You better play Can't, Don't Wanna, Won't!
