A wee change...

...well, maybe not so wee.  Closer to "we".

The more observant of you will note that I've changed the title and description of this blog.  Some changes are a-coming.  I'm not quite ready to unveil the full details, but...

There is a PROJECT in the works.  It's big, it's scary, it will probably engulf most of my spare (?!?) time.  But I need to do it.  My wretched sleep and dream patterns need me to do it (yes, the nightmares are back -- they're apparently mad at me for procrastinating on this project, after we struck a deal!), and after a late-night conversation with a beloved friend, I believe it will do a whole world of good for people stuck where I was ten, twenty, thirty, fo... [shh!] years ago.

So... there ya go.  I'm committed.  Until I get committed...  ;-)

CD Release -- or, why I've been too busy to rant recently!

Hi folks,

I realize those of you who know me must have been scratching your heads when I actually said -- TWICE -- that I was too busy to rant! But it's true, things have been a little nuts around here. Of course, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it'll be smacking me in the face on Sunday. :-)

I'm talking, of course, about the CD RELEASE!!! For those of you who have managed to escape my nattering so far, the fabulously talented (and downright sexy) guitarist and singer-songwriter Don Bray and I have a folk-roots duo called The Brights (Bray, Wright... do the 'Electric Company' thing and you'll figure it out). After almost two years of saying "we should really..." we finally have -- the debut CD "Live Love Dream" is back from the manufacturer's, and we're ready to unleash it on the world!

The CD Release concert takes place this Sunday, May 3, 2:00 pm at Hugh's Room in Toronto. Doors open at noon, with their delicious Sunday brunch menu available. Advance tickets are $14, through 416-531-6604 or www.hughsroom.com, or $16 at the door. Copies of the new CD will, of course, be available at the show -- and we'll be bringing our Sharpies! :-)

I will be spending Saturday tackling the last of the webcode (please oh please oh please let it be the last of the webcode!) making the CD available online via our website. Ah, the glamorous life of an independent musician... (Note to friendly neighbours -- I will be gladly accepting cocktails any time after 6pm!) Will keep you posted on the availability.

I'm hoping that -- once the blasted code is finished -- I'll have more time for my general ranting and raving. Keep your fingers crossed for whichever scenario you prefer. ;-)

Musically,
Alyssa

Welcome to Alyssa's Adventures in Celloland!

Also known as Alyssa’s first adventure in blogging. A natural endeavour for someone infamous for her online rants, er… highly-informative essays.

I’ll be taking a while to explore my new surroundings, but am looking forward to nattering on at you in the days to come.
