March 6th Weekend Update

A weekend of very low Lows and very high Highs, but taken all for all, a good weekend.

Friday night/Saturday morning, about 1:45, Katie became very sick. It hit her so sudden that she didn't have time to make it to the bathroom for the initial heave, so in addition to seeing to her comfort we had a mess to clean up in her room as well. It was shockingly sudden: she was fine when she went to bed, no symptoms or warning. She ran through a new round of vomiting every forty-five minutes or so until mid-morning, so none of us - except for Jami - got a lot of sleep. The rest of Saturday, day, was relatively quiet. She's fine now, bouncing back. Even rode her bike some yesterday (Sunday).

Saturday night, my usual first-of-the-month performance at Stone Bridge. My God, what a terrific night that was.

Music Update

Spent some time over the weekend in the studio, laying tracks. We (by which I mean, Michelle) have set a fairly aggressive schedule for completing the CD, with a tentative (by which I mean, "get it done, William, or else") release date in May.

You hear that? MAY.

Given our budget (just under zero dollars) and that kind of speed, I'll have to go completely public domain. As a result, I'll be recording several songs that I would otherwise pass over, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I don't want the CD to sound like Emerald Skye's Greatest Hits.

I have to remember, though, and keep reminding myself, that my audience Now is not the same audience as Then, and thus doesn't have the same memories and baggage. My hang-ups are my hang-ups.
