I started this year with a big question mark...Will I ever get back into my house? Will I ever really recover from Hurricane Sandy? How will I sing with a smile on my face? How will I take care of may son and keep him strong? How will I survive?
As I lay in my bed, so grateful to have a place to sleep. I think to myself...I don't know the answers the questions above and I can not let that break me. I have to believe that my son and I are covered...I have to believe that my gift will carry me...I have to believe that all the hard work will provide a means and that God will make a way.
I have been singing my entire adult life...It has been a wonderful life...Singing has allowed me to travel, see the world and meet the most wonderful people. I don't think I could do anything outside of the entertainment field and flow with sanity. I have tried and in a short time I was right back in the thick of it. Walking tall, smiling wide and singing my heart out to any audience that would listen...
In this New Era of the industry I am working harder than ever before...The work off stage is the hard part...Booking, Managing, Collecting, Marketing and Sales....I am learning how to do this all over again as each era comes with some new technology that over rides all that I learned over the past 35 years....
To know that even one persons day is made brighter makes it all worth the effort... To know that people would buy my music directly from me would make it so much easier to just live....
The public must be tired of hearing us say these things by now...but I don't know any other way...I went to school to learn performance not marketing...The only way I know how to do sales is to "be myself" and pray that you will eventually like me enough to buy a download.
I will keep the songs coming and hope you find something to tap your feet to or just lay back and enjoy...
Have a blessed day!
Carolyn
