Wow, is it hot here in Nashville! At home a storm blew through that left three inches of hail on the ground. I love being here, though. The buzz and energy around every aspect of music recharges my batteries. Now that my new CD has been mastered, I am anticipating my next musical goal. I love being in the studio. There is something about being surrounded by all of my instruments, playing them in a room with perfect acoustics, while receiving constructive advice from my engineer and producer, and knowing I’ve just nailed a cut. Even a frustrating day in the studio is enjoyable to me. If nothing goes right, I still love the vibe of being there. No matter what my next musical goal, it will eventually lead me back into the studio to record again. All roads lead to…the studio. So, when I was invited to meet with Tim O’Brien at Gary Paczosa’s studio this morning, I was thrilled. I appreciate opportunities like this because I often become so focused on my next goal, doing more, and filling my schedule, that I forget to enjoy the view from where I am. Tim’s laid back approach to music makes me remember to manage my time and goals with more attention to the other things in my life that matter. And I think, even though my CD won’t be completed within my self-imposed timeline, I can appreciate the pleasure of the climb as I take in the view from here. And from this vantage point, it’s pretty amazing!
