0Thanks for sharing so much of your thoughts about this topic, Kate. It is especially interesting to hear from someone who has been doing original music and performing for a long time. I took a long pause in my musical endeavors and I feel like there is so much I don't know and probably never will, but it's a very fun process - there's so much to do and get involved in with music - it's infinite, really! So many instruments, so many types of music. A person could really pick just one thing and take it a long way.
I would love to go to a music workshop someday. That is something I have never done. It is very interesting to hear that crying/feeling extremely nervous is a common thing when sharing a new song. I don't feel like I'm a nutcase! Crying is something that I can't seem to prevent, no matter how hard I try. I wish I had more control sometimes. It can be very embarrassing. > talent in the room that night that pulled me into the zone (I had only > moments earlier almost fallen off my stool, onto the guitar, & off the > stage, when I got my stoooopid clog heal caught in the rung...it would have > been really embarrassing & probably quite painful...something caught me cuz > I should have fallen...anyway the rest of my set was similarly visited with > divine intervention...a very rare otherworldly gift). I'm glad your angels were looking out for you! > I just cannot wait to hear you play Marian!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really looking forward to hearing your music live, Kate. I've just listened to some of the samples on your page and ordered your CD from CDBaby. The samples sound very beautiful! I really admire you that you are doing your own music and hope we can spend some time together in August talking about music and maybe doing a bit of jamming together. Marian
