I did it!!! 365 songs in 365 days. What a year. Over 14 1/2 hours of new music, a total of more than 25 days total of studio work all done while holding down a steady hard labor job with Simply Green Recycling. And then searching and finding a new job in Atlanta (not to mention commuting back and forth between Asheville and Morganton and then Atlanta and Asheville).
The funny thing is I honestly want to keep going. I feel like I’ve got thousands of songs left to write. That’s why I’m going to continue this blog, now called chriscates365.com. Except I’m going to post songs from my entire catalogue along with the occasional new song and songs that I’ve produced or collaborated with other artists. It has been a blast! Thank you to the more than 20,000 visitors that have dropped by to listen!! I truly appreciate it!
I can’t believe it’s November 5th. I wrote October 5th first before I realized we’re already a month ahead of that. This year has flown by. I guess I’ve been busy. At least I’ve got 308 songs to show for it. I guess I’ll always have this blog project to look back on to remember 2010. But that doesn’t mean I’m not super ready for 2011.
Welcome to Chris Cates.com. I'm an old school independent artist with lots of albums, songs, solar panels etc. This site tries to encapsulate what it is I've been doing since I played my first professional gig at 13. I post a song of the day occasionally from my somewhat excessive original song catalogue and I'm constantly recording new material when I'm not building solar farms, trying to play golf or tennis or taking care of my new twin girls.
