Anyone who’s cool has seen ZeFrank. (www.zefrank.com then click on “the show”) My friend Justin, at work introduced me to him. Seeing him do his hilarious hijinks daily (except for weekends) has given me lots of new ideas about how to get more exposure via the internet. Unfortunately, none of these ideas is really concrete…in fact, I wouldn’t even call them ideas…maybe they’re just the sperm of an idea looking for an egg, so they can make a baby idea that will grow into a big idea which will spawn a music career for yours truly in which I’m carving out my Ward Williams shaped niche in the music business. (I still really hate saying “music business”; almost as bad as I hate saying “industry” and “schmooze”).
When I started to write songs, I had no idea what I was going to do, businesswise. All I wanted to do is make a record. I did that. I’m proud of it. I hope my next record is even better, but I really like what I’ve done, and would love to find my audience, as it were. So rather than wait for my sperm to fertilize the egg of the idea and impregnate this ridiculous metaphor, I think I’ll just try to blog more. Maybe one day I’ll put on online concerts. Maybe I’ll do video journals. Maybe I’ll upload mp3s of works in progress to listen to. Who knows what I’ll do next? I definitely want to make my site more interesting, so I promise I’ll try to write more journal entries. Let me know what you’d like to see on my site. It’s a start, eh?
Love,
wardie
