Still in the post CD release party haze. It was all such a joyous celebration. Lots of folks came out to see the band, to buy a CD and have a good time. Our band was focused and sharp. And our special guests helped elevate the show to a high level.
It's funny. Having a CD of music in hand, and listening to it, seems to have made it all more real for the band. Everyone stepped up their commitment. Maybe that makes sense. You have vision in your head, you put all the pieces together, you rehearse and play shows, you go through a step by step process of "making it real." But then having a tangible thing, with fully-realized and finished songs, finally clarifies and embodies the vision.
It's not just in our heads anymore. It's not just a dream-vision. It's right there in front of us. And we can touch it, and embody it too. All of us.
