Roadblocks

Soon enough, the process for Ladley & Craig will begin. And this chapter promises to be just as exciting and adventurous as the first.

It's been almost two months since Dickens ended. Life has done an extraordinarily good job of getting in the way for both of us. We're supposed to start rehearsing for this show in March, and the songwriting process has been very slow; much slower than it was for Dickens. We've only finished two songs in addition to the ones we wrote for the abbreviated version of L&C the two of us performed months ago. In an ideal world, we'd be adding to those as well as writing all these new songs.

While the scope of our songwriting goals is well within the realm of possibility, I'm starting to worry, mainly because of the old music adage: "Do you want it done well, or do you want it tomorrow?" I worry that, if things keep up the way they have been, we're going to be throwing these songs together.

While my improv gut says we'll ultimately pull it off, the pragmatic side of me keeps telling me this is Dickens all over again...
