an update
I'd love to be able to tell you that I am amidst the western leg of my US tour and just wanted to check in, but that would be a lie. I am sitting indian style in an easy chair in my living room. School is out for the summer and I now have plenty of time to devote to my music, whether that be writing, recording, online promoting, shows, and hopefully touring.

A lot of you have asked me to come to (insert your far-off town here). As much as I want to, my mother has decided to be very protective and scared for me as far as leaving the state alone or with a friend goes and I don't know if a tour this summer is going to happen. Right now I'm trying to find some local shows and I know of at least a couple I'll be playing at for sure, so if you live in Indy just keep checking back to this site. For those of you in the midwest relatively close to Indiana, I might be able to make it out; email me at steve@steveboller.com only if you are serious about getting me to your town; I need someone willing to orchestrate things locally and help me organize everything; I have no booking agent.

switching gears....

So last night was high school graduation for the class of 2006. I felt there was some hidden meaning in the ceremony itself; four years of trying to make everyone like you and be as popular as possible, worrying about a reputation and crushing others along the way, all ended by your name being called, followed by a few scattered claps. I laughed on the inside as various members of the varsity football team heard their names called, in turn ending the peak of their lives. For those of you who haven't found a niche in high school and feel alone, don't sweat it. This is four of a potentially eighty or ninety year life. People are so misguided; the values of almost all of my peers don't go much beyond getting drunk and having sex as much as possible..isn't there more to life? Maybe? I have enjoyed high school and found some good friends and had some good times, but I don't put much stock in it. I have one year left to enjoy with these people before I never see almost all of them again. Why waste this time worrying what people think?

So anyway, I hope you enjoyed the update and also found some meaning in my thoughts. Right now I am waiting for Itunes and some other online digital music stores to get my CD up and selling. Your guess is as good as mine as to when that will happen, but hopefully soon because I am pretty poor right now. As always, you can order the CD by heading to my store..and, as always, I appreciate it more than you know.
