you’ll have to forgive me.  i’m in hermit artist / mad scientist mode.  the new studio is almost completely set up.  all of the parts are plugged in properly and cables are going to the right places.  i’ve spent hours holed up in my house putting the basics together.  managed to call tech support only once!

now comes the mad scientist part.  the part that i usually leave to my co-producer jay ruston and anyone else who knows the digital recording software better than i do - which is most everyone!  it’s the part about recording that is all about the engineering and the mechanics.  tweeking the virtual mixing board knobs and making sure everything sounds just like you want it.  very few women engineers in the business.  very few women in the business in general.  i like the challenge of getting intimate with the technical stuff and being a girl to boot!  yes…i’m managing to read manuals.  that’s the girl part kicking in.  i doubt any of my guy musician friends settled down with a cup of tea and the manual!

this morning, i got a call from my dear friend, che, from bombay.  these lovely surprises are the lasting effects of my birthday being 10 days ago.  friends sending cards and sweet treats.  a few friends have even sent me a couple of woowoo moments.  that’s what we call time with psychics and soothsayers.  i have had a couple of readings and have one tonight with a clairvoyant. 

so far, the gist of the readings have been about my need to travel for career success (i read that as touring), having children with some brilliant man that will rock my world (that sounds intense), and having a generally blessed life.  yes…i could have told them that.  blessed is definitely the case. 

i like how crazy i’m becoming (at least on paper)…hunched over my studio desk with all these flashing mixing board lights interspersed with phone sessions touching the other side of this realm.  hmmmm….so this is what form my artistry has taken.  loving it.
