I have arrived in Nashville! It is slightly chillier than I expected (I thought I left all that…) But before I came to Nashville, I stopped in DC to visit two of my best friends (who also happened to be married). We spent Saturday be-boppin’ around Georgetown, Eastern Market and Capitol Hill. Most of all, I was thrilled to be standing next to real versions of people I mostly see in Google Hangout (with party hats).
I really enjoyed visiting the Kennedy Center – such amazing 70s architecture. I can just see Jackie O looking fabulous on that rooftop. We enjoyed a transcendent bagel & whitefish sandwich at a place in Union Market.
It was the perfect weekend to prepare for this project. Of course I am very excited to make this album; I have spent the winter writing these songs – they are little pieces of me. But I have so much invested in this project – professionally & personally – that I am battling a lot of fear and self-doubt. I am trying to let it go and choose gratefulness, but I have moments where I freak out. Then your best friend tells you it will be okay and she’s so nice that you really try to believe her.
Pre-production starts today!
