Why I Make Records

We're almost a month into the release of my new project, LOVE WAS HERE FIRST, and I am having the great fun of hearing how people are interacting with the music.  In this hyper-connected world of Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and email, there is much more immediate and direct contact with the folks who listen to my songs, and it's truly a blast to hear their reactions in close to real time.  So thanks to each one of you who has taken the time to share your response ... and to those of you who haven't:  What do you think?  Huh?  Huh?

I'm laughing, but I'm serious ...

Anyway, today I came across a blog I wrote over at Conversantlife over a year ago (September 3, 2008) when I had just begun recording this project.  (Why the project took over a year to make is a long story I've shared elsewhere.)  It's a piece exploring the reasons to even keep recording CDs in a topsy turvy music market.  I was surprised to rediscover it as I don't remember writing it.  But I sure remember feeling it, and I feel it still.  So I thought I'd share the blog here.
