at some of the blog entries today.  To the guy with the superglue problem, I know what you mean.  Fingerprints won't ruin your CD.  Just tape it using small pieces and you'll be fine.  To the one having the nervous breakdown, welcome to the club!  To the one asking where the time went, you know doggone well where it went, and I hope you have some music to show for it.  I do.  And to those who have been sick, or have had sickness visit their bandmates, I can sympathize.  Awhile ago I got this song in my head that I just HAD to write and record.  Problem was, I had the worst sinus infection of my life, so I don't sound my best on the vocals.  But I did it, and I'm not about to go back and change it.  That's because I laid down the most emotional vocals I've ever done.  The subject matter was very high on my mental passion list, so I did very pleading, highly charged vocals despite my throbbing head.  I can't duplicate that, with or without the sinus infection.  So to those of you worrying about the quality of the music on your album, I'll say it again:  I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised by the reaction of others to the quality of your music.

I can understand the doubts I've read on the blogs, though.  Musicians, artists, and other creative people, are often plagued by doubts and self-esteem issues.  I know I am.  I'm the king of insecurities.  There's a thousand jokes about investing in insecurities.  I could write a comedy routine about it.  But I know how you all are feeling.  If I hadn't married when I did, and had the love of a great woman to stabilize me, I'm sure I'd be institutionalized by now.  And, yes, I wrote a song about that some time ago.

So here's a ton of encouragement from me, and I'm sure we'll all be smiling once this is all over.  Or institutionalized, whichever comes first. 

Kindest regards.

ER.
