On A Beach Long Ago…or…
A Day In The Singer Songwriter Life…
Have you heard any of those marketers who talk about working on your laptop on a beach?
Of course, most of that is hype and silliness. It can definitely be done, but most hard-working entrepreneurs don’t live that life.
However; that being said…I used to live a life very much like that…the life of a full-time traveling musician. And a lot of times I found myself on a beach during the day, playing music at night, and thinking up the next songs to write. I wasn’t rich, but it sure felt like it sometimes. I’d pinch myself and say “Just think, Tony…someone is actually paying you to sing and play music!”
This evening I went through a bunch of my old lyrics and found a song I recorded in a little beach hotel near Padre Island, Texas. It’s not a high quality recording, but it’s listenable. It’s a song about a girl (big surprise that a musician would write such a song, eh) who I only saw a couple of times. It wasn’t a physical relationship, and to tell the truth, I think bicycling in the salt air did more to inspire me than anything else.
Anyway…just thought you might get a kick out of the short version of the inside story. And, if you’re so inclined, you can download the MP3 of the original recording just below. If you have the right sort of player, you should even be able to see my original handwritten lyrics with the original date of 1/10/1987 and my signature. Woo hoo!
