Cloudy Days

On my last project, I wrote a song called Cloudy Days. It is a soulful, laid back, sincere tune with a nice rhodes piano that gives it a 1970's feel. The vocals are front and center and mixed very hot over the instruments to give it the warmth that it requires. Casey Campbell, my engineer, so brilliantly mixed it and the more I hear it, the more pleased I am with his work. The song basically speaks of that person in your life who "Takes Away The Cloudy Days". Having said that, today, I walked out of my Band Hall and realized that for a change, it was cloudy and getting ready to rain. In a moment I realized just how much I actually like an overcast, cloudy day because it is usually pleasantly cool. Of course, the clouds were a real contrast to the weeks and weeks of sunny weather that we have had. While I love the sunshine, I think I like the clouds and dark skies even better. Like the great Eddie Rabbit once sang....."I love a Rainy Night".

Well, it was Monday today so what can I say? It was a busy day at work and I hope to get some promo work done this evening after dinner. I will play solo at Fairgrinds in New Orleans on Friday and The Ponchatoula Party In The Pits with my band on Saturday. Gonna be a busy week.

Hope your week is off to a great start!!!!
