John Montagna: Blog

We landed at JFK at around 8pm last Saturday night.  My ladies were with family in Delaware until Sunday, so I had an entire night home to myself.  This solo time was perfect, just what I needed to adjust and get back in my home groove.  Jump back in too fast, and you'll burn up on re-entry.  

Then the week flew by: Labor Day day off play date first day of school private event band showcase second day of school weekend.  Whaaa..?

Here I am, home for a week, and still floating between my many lives: rock-star-for-hire, father/husband, local working musician, house keeper, citizen of New York City.  I'm rushing to finish the upcoming CD of my music from the top-rated comedy podcast in the nation, contending with as-yet-unfulfilled orders for the recently-released Hay Jude disc, and Google-mapping directions to tomorrow's house party in MT Kisco, NY with Godfrey and the boys (hot & fresh off a summer of touring).  All the while, I'm doing my best to maintain a happy home for my ladies.  And for the record, I will be memorializing the 3,000 souls who left this earth 10 years ago in my own quiet way: living peacefully on Sunday, spending time with my most precious loved ones, and TURNING THE TELEVISION OFF.

I apologize if it has taken me too long to send you your Hay Jude disc, or if too much time has passed between blogs/videos/Beatles reviews/email blasts/etc.  Life keeps happening, and it will not wait for me to edit tour videos or update a website.  Fortunately, I have a small-but-dedicated audience of people who know that Life comes first for me, and I don't take any of you for granted!  

That being said, I think I need an intern.  And a vacation.  

Be well
