bapu nor I have been posting nearly as much lately as we used to.  there are others I could list who aren't posting as much as they used to either, and there are some who are just not here at all (thus as noted by starise and his "changing of the gaurd" post).
 
My priorities year ago were to write as many songs as possible and get them recorded with the talents on instruments I don't play from this forum and from other band members.  however, I wasn't playing keyboards at the last place I was at, I was singing only.
 
at this church I'm singing AND playing keyboards and it's really taken up a lot of my time and my priorities have shifted.  I'm now not buying gear for recording, but buying gear for playing live, and I'm not recording or writing nearly as much - just learning "covers."
 
I still record other people occassionally, but I've not recorded myself in several months.  I just don't have time and my focus is on playing live...
 
change is inevitable! 

 That's great Beagle. It gets easier and takes less time the more you do it. My biggest challenge every week is to pull new fresh material without them crying that  I am throwing too much new music at them. It is a balance.

 

I think we all go through certain phases in life and a little change puts some variety in life. Once you go through this current live phase, you'll return back to your original priority......or mebee venture into screen printing?   

yeah, and sometimes I feel like our WL is throwing all new material at us every week.  it would be much easier to play the same songs every week, but that would certainly get "old" for the congregation.

lol!  probably not screen printing...
 
but agreed, after this phase is over, or at least after it gets easier I'll go back to recording more.

I'm hoping to start a new project today (initial meeting's at 11am) which should FINALLY have me earning real money again.  Money that could FINALLY get me that new DAW I need to upgrade my SONAR.  And that all means I should be able to FINALLY get all my gear out of storage so I can use it!  We'll see...

good luck to you craig (ITYRN!)

 That's great news Craig! Hope it all goes your way. Musicians can get frustrated ifin' they can't play

It all takes a lot of time. And sometimes you have to be a little selfish to get anything done. Plus the usual chores that creep up along the way unless you are a King somewhere and people treat you as such.

I found out the hard way that my Kingship only lasts while I sit on the throne.
