progress

Recently, a friend tore my song apart.  Well, that's a bit dramatic.  He said this, "I don't like your voice. It's sounds forced and not like you. The snare is too loud, bad drum mix. Your guitars are nice though."

He's never heard me before (not my covers or anything) and this was in response to me saying, "Remember I told you I'm trying to get over my stage fright?  I've taken another big step and recorded a song I wrote and am actually sharing it! I hope you like it."  It's not like I asked him to tell me what he thought or anything.  I passed it over, hat in hand, you know?  He's not even a musician, for goodness sake!

Anyway, I didn't fall apart as I imagined I would.  I laughed.  

Yes, folks.  I laughed.  I laughed and thought, "Who asked you, you dink?"

He's entitled to his own opinion just like everyone else.  I know full well not everyone will like my music/voice/playing/haircut/lipstick/marinara sauce/whatever.  That's totally cool.  His delivery really sucked, I think.  Especially considering the way I shared the song.

Anyway, point is, something I feared would happened happened and I'm still standing.  I'm totally fine.  I still love my song and the job we did recording it.  And I am still excited about sharing more.  Although, said friend is off the mailing list.  ha!
