Afraid of technology?

Here it is...my first blog ever. There is really no avoiding it anymore. As an artist, one of the most important aspects of my job is to connect with my audience and to contribute to the growth of the community. In this day and age, that means connecting offline activities with the online world and visa verse. The truth is, I am afraid of technology. Not in the sense that I am afraid of what it can do. It is a fantastic tool. What I am afraid of is the headache that slowly starts to move up from the base of my head to in between my eyes, throbbing, as I move the mouse around TRYING to figure out what the heck I am doing on the screen. I do email, a little bit of Facebook...... and that's about it. That is the extent of my vocabulary. "Computer" is a language that I have chosen not to speak very well. Until, now.
This is the beginning of my journey.... no, OUR journey ( for those of you who want to follow my growth) as I, the right brained artist, nurtures her left brained techie side. I will be learning how to maintain my website, keep the content fresh by uploading new music tracks, videos, blogs, pictures etc. So lets get started.

  1. Hey Angie,
    Welcome to the blogiverse. I've been here a while. Come check out my space. It's mostly about shakuhachi. How was your recent concert? I'd love to hear some of the music from it. Any chance of sending anything?
    love to all
