Does the Music ever stop?

Does the music ever stop?

I've been in Nashville for about a month and a half now but it seriously seems like so much longer than that. I think we've all hit that point in the semester where we're just getting sick of music. (I know i am) Now don't get me wrong, i knew that music would be my life coming into this semester BUT i didn't really think it through that well. We ALL eat, sleep, and breathe music 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. When we're not performing, we're practicing, when we're not practicing, we're listening, when we're not listening we still have songs going through our heads. And coming at the perfect time in the semester is our Smoky Mountain Retreat! This coming weekend we're all going to the smoky mountains to a cabin that holds 36 people. We are all so excited for this little break of music. We already have been talking about how there is going to be no music whatsoever :-) I think coming back from the retreat we will all be refreshed and ready to start preparing for our tour coming up in 5 weeks.

Well, anyways moving past the burnt out feeling, this week is crazy BUT going to be awesome. I'm performing this coming thursday for our CMC live show again and doing two originals, Black and White Masquerade and Alabaster Box (which i need to change the name to cause aparently it's a CeCe Winnas song from the 90's, so any suggestions of a new name would be great!) But their sounding amazing in our rehearsal times. It amazes me everyweek the talent of the musicians that I work with. They take my "so-so" songs and make them sound legit! So thats the crazy part of this week is performing BUT on friday my friends from Cedarville are coming down. I'm sooooo excited to see them and show them around Nashville. I miss them all so much! I can't wait to take them downtown and show them Broadway street. A bunch of us from the CMC went downtown last night and went to a few places and ended up at a Karokee place and it was absolutely hilarious to watch these drunk people getting up and making complete fools out of themselves. The conclusion of last night is that we all fell in love with this city. Walking downtown Nashville, there was just this feeling of satisfaction. I love the feel of Nashville, just love everything about it.

So, I know that wasn't much of an update but.....that will just have to do for now :- )
