Today I realized I am a dreamer,
not a realist. I think things
through and weigh my options and consiquences, but I dream, and then follow
those dreams, after considerations.
I have been thinking a lot about the record contract Andrew and I turned
down for McBride Nelson (which, if we accepted, would have been Nelson
McBride) Although it seemed legit
and fair, and everyone involved wanted the same out come, I want to be
surrounded and work with other dreamers.
I want people that believe in me, and that I believe in, but that want
to chase a crazy dream and take a few risks, because without that, there will
be no gain. One thing we were told
was that the CD format was dieing, “They won’t even be making CDs after next
year” Well don’t tell Taylor Swift that, because she just sold, over 262,000
hard copies in one day, Jason Aldean, is up to 400,000 copies in week one. Mumford and Sons sold 600,000 copies in
one week. Why would any one
stop making an item that sells for about $10 a pop and can sell those numbers
in a matter of days? Singles and
digital downloads are great, but there are a lot of people like me that enjoy
getting a new CD from their favorite artist. Now they are anomalies, I know that. We are not all going to have the
success of Swift, or Aldean, or The Mumfords But isn’t that the dream?
