Not bad for a Tuesday. Did my annual nooner today, solo guitar on the square. Always enjoyable, but you definitely work that hour on solo guitar. I'm prepared in pretty much every way for the gig: got an operating guitar and amp, am tuned up, have extension cords, am warmed up as far as my fingers. But I always underestimate the number of tunes I'm gonna need, and kinda end up treading water at a late point in the hour. On solo guitar, you need a shitload of tunes. Well there's always next year..

   Actually had an audience this year, a handful of people from work. That was cool. Not used to people being there the whole hour. Normally I get a somewhat shifting crowd, so late in the hour I can repeat myself without anybody knowing.

   Nothing else really to report. This coming weekend I hope to get my CD project all ironed out as far as fixes and additions and move into Phase 3: the packaging and duplication. An expensive year, but it's worth it. Always exciting having a brand new 'baby' to tell the world about. Then of course it's up to the world to respond.

   Still nothing happening in CD Land. http://cdbaby.com/all/scrain is the address. All I can do is just hang in there. But 2 CDs are on sale at the moment, for a mere $5.99 apiece: Sunny Side Up and Jammin' with Sam. http://cdbaby.com/all/scrain  That's all I'm gonna say about it. At a certain point, you have to just leave it to Jesus..

   Okay then. Not a lot to report. A nice pleasant solo guitar gig that didn't get rained out, much as it threatened to earlier this morning. 3 more workdays, and then another weekend. Moving through the week. Thanks as ever for tuning in. Some new pictures at http://isound.com/sam_crain you might like. Over and out..
