After trying a couple different content delivery options, I decided to compile this blog from previous commentaries and current thoughts. I expect the play will continue to warrant discussion as we are doing a reprise in the Fall and there is a possibility it may come to Bloomsburg in Spring ...
6/17/06 – 1:08 AM – We’re having our after-show wind down now with friends and family and reflecting on tonight’s debut performance. Steve says, “One down, one to go.” My Taylor guitar, an instrument I enjoy very much otherwise, seems to have ED (Electronic Dysfunction), or performance anxiety at gigs. ...
6/16/06 – Well, opening night is upon us. CD pressing continued right up until Wednesday afternoon when we left for Greensburg. Our 4-hour ride out here was uneventful, with the exception of one cool van that we saw. I took a picture, but will have to wait until I get ...
6/11/06 – CD Tracking Weekend – So far so good. I was blessed with awesome weather, which is a bummer because I am not out in it, but it means that I have not had to use the air conditioner and have had a reasonable temperature all weekend. Two or ...
6/4/06 – It’s been another productive weekend of writing and recording, some of it beyond what is needed for Steve’s play. This week will be dedicated to the final versions for the CD, printing labels and rehearsing my parts for the stage. Steve and I had a brief call today ...
5/31/06 – Over the weekend I was able to complete the rehearsal CD for Steve and got that in the mail yesterday. Now it’s on to final production for the saleable CD which should happen this weekend. I’ve done some planning and ground work, but it has just been too ...
5/27/06 – Bengali New Year and a very wet trip to Ellis Island left me with a sinus infection, so I spent most of this past week recovering and trying to stay healthy for the next few weeks. Memorial Day weekend has afforded me a perfect opportunity to make final ...
5/7/06 – The past few weeks have demonstrated the true meaning of the word triage. Squaring away my final paper for school and preparing for Bengali New Year have taken most of my time. In addition I’ve been preparing for another one of my workshop offerings for Greenwood Friends. So ...
4/15/06 2:04 AM I think I’m at the point where I can envision how things will look on the stage, at least somewhat. But I did have a strange dream the other night. I dreamt that for some reason we had to go on with our first performance without any rehearsals. ...
4/8/06 10:27 AM Last night was mostly house keeping, going through some drafts of songs and fragments to see what I may have missed. One of the things I deal with constantly is the changing atmosphere in the studio, and my preference for recording methods. Most of the time, I just ...
4/1/06 1:14 AM Well, the writing process is nearing an end for this project. It’s time to figure out which pieces will be in the play, which will be pre-recorded or performed live, and which songs might end up on the Immaculate Misconceptions CD (merchandising!). For now I’m trying not ...
