Hello world!

At last, a real blog! I think this will be a whole lot easier for me to keep up with than the NOTES section of my website. Plus, people can leave comments – how cool is that? Just like a diary and forum in one! I’ll do my best to keep things up to date, so people can stop sending me those “Oh my gosh, are you still alive? What happened to you?” letters that so warm my heart. Truthfully, I love all the fan mail I get. Seems like there’s never enough time for me to read and respond to everything that comes in, but it really means a lot to me that people care so much. And just to set the record straight, I am very much alive and well. The reason you haven’t heard from me in a while is because I’ve been super focused on my art. I’ve written some of the best music of my life, and I’ve dramatically improved my voice so that I can sing as well as I play the piano now! Yeah! As you will eventually realize, I am an artist – not a fame whore. I do what I do out of passion, not the desperate need for attention that seems to drive so many into the so-called entertainment business. I spend my life hunting down the most evocative experiences possible to spin into song, and that is what my life is all about, capturing a feeling and preserving it like emotional photography in sound. I don’t come up for air often, but when I do, it is always worth the wait. I know you’ve been waiting for the new music, and I’m happy to say it is going to be here soon. I’ve written so many songs, it looks like I have about three albums to record for you… so lucky for you I record everything live in one take. You’re gonna have a bunch of new Christine Anderson records to listen to. Very soon.
