Still writing after all this time
Today has been a hard writing day. Small progress, but I think it's been significant. I was up early-ish, got some work done, then I needed to do some errands and after that my son had a soccer game. I got some work done in the car while the team was warming up. Been working tonight, slowly....
I have a couple of new CD's that I'm finally getting around to listening to. Two are pretty amazing.
Facing Future by Iz Kamakawiwo'ole. Wow. Most of the tracks are going to end up on the list of Stuff Carolyn Writes To. Right now I'm listening to Alan Jackson's latest
Like Red On A Rose. Yes, I admit it. I am a country fan, and Alan Jackson is one of my favorites. This album is a departure for him and so far I love it. This is music I can write to. I understand why his hardcore country fans are upset, but hey, I'm not hardcore. I just like a singer with a great voice and songs I can sing along to. But, then I guess anyone who listens to Iz and Jackson in the same day isn't hardcore Country. I haven't gotten around to replacing my blues collection, and I do need to do that. I had a lot of the oldies but goodies. Other recent music is Donal Clancy's
Close to Home. Good stuff.
Back to work.
