I know U2 did “boy” - absolutly irrelevent to this

but is there a “girl”?

That’s what the majority of the songs are about

And, no, “Laura” wasn’t a thinly disguised you, it was another client.
The situation is very common though … little, pesky beliefs can keep us stuck for YEARS for no good reason. I find The Work to be a very practical way to break through. I also like the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

I loved Kevin’s article and shared it with another client who is a musician. Thanks for the link.

And I am like you — I can offer advice to others all day, but often need someone else to help me through my own challenges. We are too close to our own situation, which I guess is the premise behind the whole coaching and consulting industries.

I hope your buddy takes your advice and gets something out there.

Now top reading this and get to work building your 1,000 fans!

I am sure you are on to something with your music, and will be there at Inza on Friday to support you. I encourage others in Arizona to do the same.

It’s a great book, and deserves to be up there!

If you haven’t HEARD the CD release of “On Writing”, read by the MAN himself…you’re in for a treat! King is one of my all-time favs, from way back. He knows how to weave a story so you don’t know how it’s going to end…or who… Writing is like walking, just keep putting one foot (word) in front of another and you’ll eventually get there. The problem arises when we STOP writing and make *AHEM* excuses like…the lawn needs mowing or the dog needs a bath. BAH, just do it, lay the lines down…music to the eyes! Save editing for another day…perhaps another person…who doesn’t get all caught up in the micro-view before the macro has a chance to breath!

…a few thoughts…

Gold-diggers, where some bogus “A&R sessions” are simply a way for bored reps to pick up a
few bucks on their way through flyover country. You laugh, you cry, you kiss your ten
bucks good-bye

Open-Micers, where really really bad performers drive everyone away after a few
horrible experiences.

Lunatic Fringers, where extreme politics is the only thing anyone is interested in,
and God help you if you don’t agree with them.

Jeordie has tried to put together performing songwriter rounds at places like The Last
Exit, with limited success, but these are all about performance, not construction.

Mama Java’s has provided a wonderful venue for artists to gether a following, nice central
location, helpful staff, but it is empty for many shows.

In short, no Arizona singer/songwriter venue has come along with stringent enough standards to
consistently engage the paying public, and develop a rep for quality shows. Nice to be friendly and all, but a venue needs to
draw NON-songwriters as well.

The #1 Matthew Cornell on google is me (at the moment). I’ve apparently out-placed the artist in Orlando (who is #2).

Sounds like your evaluation of you self, skills, situation, and goals is
showing signs of progress.

Hmmm . . . what kinds of out-sourcing?

Thanks for the link!

Increasing profits - for fun and profit…

I wanted to become more healthy so what did I do? I started exercising! What an igenious concept.
Many others would sit and complain that this or that makes it too difficult.

I say turn the TV off altogether. There is just junk on it anyways.

I know someone who has two small kids (5 and 7). EVERY night he and his wife play WoW and their kids watch
TV. The kids know the routine. When one movie is over they go get another.
Those kids will be the losers of the next generation.

I think that is amazingly sad.

I couldn’t find the link to the pic of your dog.

Bummer that after floods, people have to get rid of their dogs! I was just thinking yesterday to myself…what would happen if I had an emergency. I have 2 kids and 3 pets! I couldn’t sacrifice any of them…stuff is replaceable. Family isn’t….
