We are actually doing this

I met Laura on Saturday. She is wonderful. After a ten hour drive, we finally met Paul. We all got along really well. On Sunday Paul mentioned to me that he knew Laura and I wanted to record a children's album. Then he said "I'm in. I'd love to join up. We could be Patti, Laura and Paul". All of a sudden it changed from a casual thing that Laura and I were thinking about doing a little down the line to a real thing. We're already putting together songs lists and researching recording studios.

It is too surreal. It will hopefully come together within a year. It will be hard as I am in CT, Laura is in Boston and Paul is based in Miami. But we will figure it out. We can always rehearse on our own or something to that effect. We all have experince singing harmonies so we won't be thrown off when we meet up.

Don't read anything in to this. I don't want or need fame and fortune. This is NOT, is any way, a desperate attempt to get famous and break in to the business. I've heard a lot of people talk about children's entertainment as "the easiest way to get in" and "something to do until something legit comes along". Both those statements hurt me. This is what I want to do. I have searched for years to find this answer. I wanted to act, but that wasn't right. I wanted to teach, but that wasn't right. I didn't start to see the two meshing until recently and I've been so relieved that there IS something I can do. There is something that makes me happy. If it pays, that's great. But I am not doing it for money. I am doing it, because it is all that makes sense.
