" A Change In Direction"

There are many things I could say about Christine McVie.  She is a hero in my eyes who never intended on being an international superstar.  Her heart belonged to the blues and found success in singing the blues.  She joined Fleetwood Mac and her songwriting developed- you can see the growth from her songs on "Mystery to Me" and compare it to her songs on the " White Album".  She always wrote honestly and openly with such ease.  The melodies of her songs make them some of the most memorable in music history. 

Melodies.... they are what makes the song in my mind.  I recently sent a website four of my songs for a general review.  I knew that my songs were not great- they were recorded on a downloaded computer system that leaves a little to be desired. Writing is supposed to get better over time... I hope so.  I received my report today that said I have a great way with melody.  They suggest that I could benefit from having a few open mic nights.  I would love to do this but am unsure if I would have support with me.  It is something I am seriously considering in order to further develop my musical career. 

I have recorded three new songs on a little recorder. I am trying to figure out a way to upload my songs with the best quality onto my sites.  My computerized music studio does not seem to capture the best vocal tracks and I am exploring my options.  Music has evolved since Christine first started making music but I hope that one day I can have a career that is as successful and wonderful as hers.
