Ginger Leigh's End of the Year Letter
I'd like to thank you for a spectacular year in music. Many of you have been incredibly supportive - coming to multiple shows and buying my CD's. I know that in this economy, it isn't easy to enjoy luxuries or take part in too many recreational activities. But I think we all agree that music soothes the soul and can take you away from the daily grind.
I've had a busy year, sometimes I feel like I'm running in circles, sometimes I feel like it's all blast-off to the next bigger and better thing. Either way, it's been all about making music for you, about finding new fans, about growing in my creativity and about trying to survive in this business that is often barely sustainable. But all-in-all, I've succeeded in my endeavors and I have to thank you for being a part of it.
A HUGE thanks to those who pitched in for my guitar! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I've also had the joy of watching and supporting my friends and colleagues as they too press on in their dreams and goals. Many of us are releasing new records and working hard on our careers. Rock on, Sister Wendy Colonna, Sister Shelley King, Brother John Pointer and so many others.
As you know, I recently recorded the live CD, which doesn't even sound like a live CD! My goodness, the engineer, Chris Burns, did such a good job that it almost sounds like a studio recording. The band was fantastic and I look forward to playing more shows together. I'm most proud of this CD, as it is one I have dreamed of recording for quite some time. It's upbeat, fun, and full of joy. It is now available at
http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/GingerLeigh
and soon to be on iTunes and other download outlets.
I've also been involved in other business, such as supporting Jane Reece in her interior design projects.
I've always had a love of decor and architecture.
The music comes from my mother's side of the family (http://www.theconessisters.com),
My Love of home design comes from my father's side - he is a custom home builder
(http://www.elangrouphomes.com).
Working with Jane to make these homes beautiful has been so much fun! If you've watched any of The Adventures of Jane and Ginger, you've seen some of these projects to which I refer. http://www.janereece.com and http://www.janeandginger.com
Speaking of other business, I have had the joy of designing many websites and other graphic elements for clients such as the Nancy Fly Agency artists (Bruce Robison, Del Castillo, Patrice Pike, Warren Hood and others), the Venetian Hot Plate in Port Aransas, Debra Watson, Wendy Colonna and more.
As a small child I wanted to be a visual artist and a singer. I guess we are we who are from the day we are born....
I'm currently involved in an equity raise for an incredibly unique and highly recognizable international restaurant/bar launch, which when comes to fruition I will watch grow with pride. This has been a new experience for me and I love being involved in business. Perhaps I should go get my MBA!
This year has been full of many great things and many great disappointments. But having your support and the love and direction of some very close friends, I still put one boot in front of the other and I charge laughing in the direction of my dreams. I hope that watching me through my music gives you the courage to do the same. Many of you don't know it, but it is because of you that I find a large portion of my courage to forge on.
I woke up this morning and decided that I would like to find a way to spend a year writing a book, or rather finishing a book I began years ago. Time to put on my thinking cap and to set out to structure a plan of attack on that one. Any advice?
I wish I could write this "Thank You Note" to each and every one of you individually, but that could take some time! Know that I mean every word of what I say and it is directed to the individuals in this group and to all of you collectively. Thank you for asking others to get to know my music and to purchase it. You feed me. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to read all of my messages (I know, it's often too much). Thank you for choosing to come to my shows even though there are so many to choose from. Thank you for staying in touch.
I wish you a beautiful and safe holiday and a fantastic New Year!
Much love,
Ginger Leigh
