she works hard for the money

No I don’t

But I just liked that for the title of this blog

I’ve been getting some mail about my lazy arse not so regular blogging lately

I guess this is the bit where I say sorry

OK then, sorry for fuck’s sake

No, really, I am but I don’t really mean it

 

One of my excuses reasons for my irregular blogging (doesn’t THAT sound like an intestinal problem?) has been trying to get the new album done

So on a normal day like today, I’d find some random thing to bullshit write about

But my day today was spent in a hotel room with Dad, working on my songs

I’ve pretty much finished them

But having Dad around is a big bonus

He’s a great sounding board

And helps me to polish them a bit if they need it

Which is almost never ’cause I’m such a funny wench

OK, there I go lying again

He’s going to probably change every song

No, he just changes a word here and there

But it’s amazing how much that can help a song out sometimes

This is the part where I insert some smart arse comment about Dad & spending the day with him

Thought I’d try not to be bitchy for once be nice today

And tell you how lucky I feel

Dad’s one of Australia’s most successful comedians and has sold millions of albums

So to have him, help me make my stuff better, is a pretty big deal

He’s co-written with only a handful of people in his career

And that’s all been ‘straight’ country music for other artists

He’s never recorded a song he didn’t write 100% himself

And that’s over 250 songs

It’s pretty cool to be able to say that I’m the only other comedian he’s ever co-written with

I didn’t even have to twist his arm

I just reminded him who gets to pick the retirement home

ME BABY!
