I think 2014 will be the year for my comeback to music. Gonna write a bunch of originals to make ’em exclusively for the internet. How many songs do I plan to write in 2014? As many as I can come up with. I wanna take songwriting more seriously next time around. Try to make my songs “professionally” written and recorded too. I wanna write with more heart and passion. Have more confidence in my songwriting.
The reason I’m going to the folk/rock direction ’cause that genre seems to get more respect than other types of music. People seem to be into the folk, country, bluegrass thing more. I wanna write songs in that direction. Kind of like a Neil Young, CSNY, and Simon & Garfunkel thing, ya know? You can hear a lot of that influence in that latest song, “Leave This Place”.
Will I play these new songs live at gigs in 2014? I’m gonna try. Gonna try to get a gig at Caffe Lena again and maybe try to get a gig at the Putnam Den in Saratoga Springs. I’ll try to play a few gigs but they will be more locally like around the Saratoga area. I think I’ll stay away from playing gigs in Albany ’cause it’s too far travelling.
I wanna put my music out there more and have a plan to do it.
I’m always trying to improve my songwriting, singing and guitar playing to get better. I wanna focus on the singing in these new songs. Make the singing “good” next time around.
