Got word from the company pressing the discs (okay, burning) that the audio files and data goodies are ready for proof and approval. So part of tomorrow will be spent attending to all that. This process is still a fun thing for me. I'm gonna have the Beatle Birthday (64) this October, but part of me is still that kid learning guitar and writing songs and playing in bands with school friends, and dreaming about someday playing for a big audience and being able to make records. So every time I step on stage to perform, or work in the studio, or release a newly completed project - even at my humble level - I'm still dead chuffed about simply getting to do all of this.
Remember:
"How successful you become is a matter of luck and business, and is a totally unrelated subject. Whether you leave the house to your mother or if you've got anything materially to leave behind is one thing, but what you do leave behind is your music. Whether you sell a million records or never even make one, if someone's heard you and you've turned them onto it, you've done your fuckin' job. The rest of it is hype and business. That's what it comes down to."
Keith Richards said that. Words to live by, yeah?
Yeah.
