It's getting interesting

So much is happening, and so rapidly, that I am not able to keep up with blogging and sharing all the interesting tidbits the way I should. But the imminent release of the UP IN THE AIR soundtrack is definitely news, and I am so honored to be a part of it. Brad Smith was recently declared ineligible for an Oscar nomination for his song "Help Yourself," as I am, and the incontention.com website had another story discussing the whole thing. Meanwhile, reviews of Up in the Air at the London Film Festival have been almost unanimous raves, and several have mentioned the music. I am waiting to find out if the version of "Taken At All" by Crosby, Stills and Nash that appears on the soundtrack is their trio version, or the one that also features Neil Young which appeared on the CSN box set. I'd be tickled if the latter, just so I could say my first recorded song came out on an album that I shared in some manner with my musical idol! I am hoping to record a few more songs in the next two weeks, and I wrote a brand new one over the weekend that I really like. The title is "Call It, Friend-o." It's really fun to play, and it has a nicely quirky arrangement. All in all, these are very interesting times for me!
