Welcome to my first blog. Everything you didn’t need to know about me.
Sounds like you have a lot of time on your hands.
It is with a certain amount of trepidation that I stoke the furnace on this runaway train. What do I talk about? What do you want to hear? Which bands do I like? My turn-ons and turn-offs? At what point do I start discussing what I had for breakfast? As Clint Eastwood said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
So I tell you what … I will try to make this information useful for you, technically, and as a performer. No pie-in-the-sky theories. No cockamamie algorithms. Just conclusions drawn from experience and observation.
One comfort I have here, is that this blog is definitely not a democracy. Sorry, but I have no interest in opening up dialogs with the entire world and arguing fine points of magical “theory,” or how many angels will fit on the tip of a wand … just so you know. If you don’t agree with me, bless you. Click on the next page. No harm, no foul.
But if the content somehow proves helpful to you, then perhaps there might be some purpose for this after all!
I will update this blog sporadically, so check back occasionally and see what’s new. Better yet, join my mailing list and get an email notice of new entries, new books and DVDs, lecture and show schedules, and anything Carney related. I only send out mailings quarterly, so you won’t be bothered too often with my rants.
So until the next time, best of luck. Hope to see you back again soon.
