I’ve been thinking for some time (Hello again, Procrastination) that I should write a post explaining why I write this blog (especially as I approach my second blog-ivesary).

Some experts would argue that this should have been my very first post.

But as you, dear regular reader, know, I’m taking a more improvisational approach to things these days. You know, my life, my work, my music and certainly this blog.

I mean, if I’d had to know what I was doing (and where I was going) with this blog, I might have talked myself out of writing it in the first place. And I (at least) think that would be a shame.

That’s the truth. I didn’t really know what I was doing.

But, I wanted to write about vocal improv, so I did it. I started writing this blog with no expectations about how it would turn out or really what it would even be like. (Not having ever blogged before, it was easy not to have a lot of expectations *smile*).

I thought I had some stuff to say about improvisation. To be honest, I thought this blog would be much more technical and much more focused on the how-tos of singing. I had no idea it would prove so educational (for me) and so inspirational (to others).

“I love receiving your messages. Thank you!”

“Thank you! Perfect! Exactly what I needed to hear today!”

“Thanks for sharing your process.”

“It’s fun to hear your adventures, your perspective, & especially this tasty audio tidbit.”

I thank you for taking the time to read and email and comment. And, hey, if you enjoy reading my blog, I’d appreciate it if you’d send it on.
