I know, I know... where have I been? Well, to be completely honest, I really don't know. I have figuratively jumped in my car and turned where I felt like turning without any regard to a destination.
It's unbelievably hard being single in your 30's. The dating game is an about-face to what it was 10 years ago and you're stuck juggling life's experiences and discerning between biases. But, it is also a lesson in humility. I started out trying to bypass the infatuation stage and asked the hard questions and tried to force the hard questions to be asked. Safe to say, I have come off quite abrasive. That just sucks. So, in my attempt to get the heart of the matter as quickly as possible in hopes not to waste any time... I successfully have wasted a ton of time and ultimately put my worst foot forward. Although the intentions have been paved in gold, the reality is I was being an idiot!
So, I have woken up, smelled the cement and realized why would anyone bypass one of the best parts of any relationship? Maybe subconsciously I wasn't ready... although I don't really believe that; but, I wanted to try a different approach. To bad it was so awful!
The good news is that I am starting to get my concert dates starting again! I took a very long, albeit necessary break from doing concerts, but I'm glad to have my focus back.
I have also recorded some very great artists... one a Grammy winning pianist! I'm sure I'll talk about that more in subsequent emails, but safe to say the experiences have been life changing! As far as my second album, I have all the material and need to get the studio time to get all the tracks down. I'm hoping I'll have something next year.
Finally, I wanted to write to let everyone know who much you all mean to me. Thanks for your friendship, fanship, and all that's in between.
Chad
