Steady as she goes

Its not very interesting to report, but I'm still plugging away. Its hard to know when to give up promoting the record you already have and concentrate solely on the next one. And it is a sort of acquiescence, an admittance that you've done all you can do. A cutting of one's losses. I've had to change my way of thinking. I want things NOW. This kind of career is not built now. This kind of career is built over years. The first record: we got good press. We played some shows. The second record: we'll get press (hopefully good), we'll play more shows, and we'll try to hit the Americana charts. Nothing is signed at this point, but I should have the opportunity for UK distribution on the next record. I will play shows in the UK, which will be promoted by my distributor. They will also help me get press over there. I have to take this opportunity to thank those in the UK who supported "Good Samaritan". I'm so grateful! If it sounds like I'm writing my will or something...not the case! But I am -- pretty much -- putting to bed the ole' promo machine on "Good Sam". I am focusing on two things these days: trying to book gigs and working on the next record, which will be released in 2009. Its not that far away!!
