Compromise

Rick has spent the past couple of days working on his parts of our new cd......mine will be done this coming weekend.  Recording, practicing, writing, re-writing, art work, photographs.......it is a mountain of work for an independent to do (independent meaning no contract with big major record label) It is much the same as when he has done his books, except this time the two of us are balancing our talents, tempers, and fatigue.

I think any collaboration is very much like a relationship, there is much give and take, a practice of patience,
laughter, and the need to remind yourselves why you are doing it, what is important, and most of all......why it is fun. Sometimes........you just have to breathe......and count to ten.

It is exciting to think that this collaboration is finally coming to fruition........it has been a long time coming.....but now is the right time.  So, if any of you are in any sort of partnership or relationship, working and or/ just for fun and love......remember there will always be rough spots, and mountains to climb and curves to cling to, no matter what it is or who you are with.  We are not cookie cutter humans, each of us is different and unique.......key word to remember.....compromise and ........laugh, alot.
