I sat in with my friend Jim Satten this past Wednesday. Although,I usually dont sing jazz on a regular basis, I sang a couple of standards. I used to only sing jazz when I was much younger. Everyone told me it suited my voice. Singing jazz puts you in another place, another scene. Jim is doing a jazz organ trio thing now. He has decided to reinvent his style. That is the cool thing, if you really want to , you can set your path to something else on any given day.Sometimes, your path gets changed for you.
It is always good to be surrounded by good people that happen to be musicians. We support each other. It is always a work out for me. Drama has been going on lately and I know it just makes the soul reservoir deeper. There are people and things that I will never understand and I believe I am supposed to accept that and let them go as painful as that may be sometimes. Lovers come and Go. Check out Bonnie Raitt's track, "Lovers Will"
True Friends and family are the rock. One way to work through this is writing and writing, because it is in these moments that people usually most relate to the material.
My fans keep asking when the next gig will be. There are some things I need to get sorted before I can clearly manage what I feel will need to be done. In the mean time, I am always meeting new musicians and people that support music. That is what keeps me going. My fans are loyal. The base needs to grow. I don't think it or I can ever grow enough.
I thank God or whoever you believe in for people like Jim, always looking out and for being honest.
