The studio day is approaching and I'll admit I'm frantically trying to make sure I've got everything in line for the songs. I wish I could say this process was no sweat, I show up with my songs, we play them with the red light flashing, take a few pictures for the art work, stick the music and the pictures in a plastic case, wrap it in the most annoying plastic wrap you've ever touched in your entire life and Boo Yah! New Harley Jay CD! But for some reason it didn't work out hat way for me with the first record and this one isn't too much different.
But you know what is so sweet about this entire process? I'm feel like I can say anything I want. I don't feel like I've really got any need, reason, or excuse to hold back a certain topic. thought, feeling, or sound for that matter. Which also feels really great because it means I can keep my eyes wide open with my head completely cleared and "go, go, go."
The real point to me saying this is not to pat myself on the back and say "way to go Harley for these songs you've beat writers block to the ground, buried it, you're the new high school bully, now let's see who else's ass we can kick!" But for a chance to thank all of you who take time out of your day to read these things, come to the shows, write a thought or feeling on here or anywhere else, pop my CD into your car and blow the windows out listening to "And She Said," sign up for the fan lists, wish me a good day on Facebook, ALL THAT AND MORE because you've given me the hope and spirit to just take a chance and put whatever I'm really thinking about feeling on paper. I always want to put out good music but because of the support you've all put behind me, this second shot at putting out new music seems to be so much more amped and grounded, and I owe that feeling to you.
I'm landing in the studio in three days and will continue to keep my eyes open... wide. To make sure you're getting the real me, the real music, the real experience. What you truly deserve, my 100% best version of myself.

Harley, I love reading your blog!!! You truly have a way with words. I can hardly wait for the new CD. I am a big fan---my entire family is still making fun of me putting your bumper sticker on the back of my Lexus. It sure is easy to find my car in the parking lot with my Harley Jay bumper sticker "singing" to me :-).
Love to you,
Peggy B.
Is there a way to get a notification in email about when you post your blogs? Because I either come here early in the morning [around 8 - 10am] then I usually come around 12 - 1, and then by the time I do come back it's either 9pm at night, or the next day. Harley I don't think people are able to get by daily without your hidden encouragement, or the hidden messages in which you put into how you feel. Your inspiration gave me a boost to continue writing my book.
Thanks for everything, and I shall check back later on today!
