Sigh...

This has been weighing on me for a while now.

A few months ago Laura and I were thrilled to learn that Paul wanted to join us in recording a children's album.

"We could be Patti, Laura and Paul." he said.

Well, a duo with Laura was exciting but a TRIO was fantastic.

But now, Paul is out. And I'm disappointed.

It's a very long story so I'll just say that he wasn't comfortable.

I suppose it's for the best. He didn't seem to want to participate as much as he had originally indicated. Again, long story as to why.

Laura and I are still going forward, slowly. Once I move up to Boston we'll be able to work together and create a strong group. We'll probably look for a guy too. It's just better that way. Having a male voice creates a lot more musical opportunities. Besides, there are a lot of duos out there. There aren't many trios. Come to think of it, there are a lot of quartets but not so many quintets.

What's so great about even numbers?

Still, it's a little irritating. I set up email accounts and websites; contacted recording studios, accountants, tax attorneys, IRS Revenue Agents, etc...

It's a lot of work to just throw it away.
