March 16, 2010 Greetings to all! Another year and only chord charts to show for the album only known as Bellevue Shuffle. Still juggling this project with any number of day to day life stuff, but anticipate starting the recording process at some future date. Been reading “Necronomicon” by H.P. Lovecraft – great short stories of horror & the macabre.  Rising early in the morning to do “The Artist Way” journaling process to help break down barriers to opening up the creative process.  Feels good to just let it all out on paper.  Its like a detox of sorts. I’ve finally finished the song I’ve been working on for years – Time To Fly.  Now I’ve been practicing it to bring up to performance level.  The song has a sci-fi theme, dark and uncertain, loosely based on William Gibson’s novel, “Neuromancer”. On the matrix/internet side of life, Pat Rodriguez and I have our Panacea: Tropical Pop Music Duo page on face book.  On www.myspace.com/elliottranney, there is a nice slide show backed by a sound track of snippets of cover tunes and originals Pat and I recorded last year.  We have some posted shows on the tour section of this web site with more to come.  Hope you all are having “A Good Life” and please let me know you’ve stopped by. Take care!         Elliott
