I started planning for our CD Release Party in August and it's now only 5 days away.
In August, the furthest thing in my mind was the Yankees playing the World Series on November 1st. OK, it wasn't a thought in my mind at all. I'm very happy for New Yorkers that their favorite team is in the biggest show of the year for baseball fans. I'm not a Yankee fan per se, but I've been watching most, if not all of the games because I enjoy it. It's hugely exciting, and for the winners and their fans, lifetime memories will be made as they watch with their families and friends.
This CD Release Party is my "World Series." Not every songwriter/musician gets the opportunity to make a record. It costs a lot of money and sometimes takes years to find the right musicians to play the music. In today's market, many writers are releasing digital albums rather than CD's. I still like "albums" and I'm lucky to have found a great team to help me make a second one. From the musicians to the recording engineers, and the mixing and mastering engineers, the photographer, designer, and the manufacturer, we've made an album. Ergo the name, We Make This. We've worked hard all year to make this record. We've put in the practice hours on our own and in rehearsals, and we're ready to present it to you. Fortunately, there are no losers in my "world series." Everyone wins in my book!
The good news for baseball fans and music fans is that the game doesn't start until 8:20pm on Sunday which will leave you just enough time to catch our show and watch most of the game. So you don't have to choose one over the other. I can also recommend a great place to watch games - the Brickhouse Brewery which is a few doors down from the Patchogue Theatre.
For those of you who don't live anywhere near Long Island, I'm sorry to say that we will not be airing our show on National TV. However, the album will be available at CDBaby.com on November 1st. You can purchase the CD or download the mp3 version of it there. Downloads are also available on ParadiddleRecords.com. It's coming to iTunes soon!
Until then, you can preview the album, We Make This, on these following radio stations. All have access online. We'll be live on WUSB this Thursday night (10/29) at 7pm.

I know I always say this and I mean it everytime. Thank you for your support. Thanks to those who've added our show to their calendars online and in their newspapers (too many to name).
