Teamwork Means Success

   Hello to all in this beautiful world!  Its Dan here reporting Glen Landing's first blog post of the new year.  And also this would be my first ever.  Anna has been doing an amazing job  figuring out all of these cool ways and outlets to help us spread the word of our little band.  When i mean little I mean its only me and Anna.  I was told that I could write whatever i want so here we go.  My first rant is going to be about Teamwork.


   Sometimes its difficult in a once fully artistic setting of writing and jamming songs to start mixing in business principles that artist don't really respond to.  Most people in bands traditionally are artists, but with the oh so changing entertainment industry  forces us to wear hats we usually would not.  I wouldn't wear this hat Anna has on for example.  With all the social media outlets for a band to engulf themselves, it seems that if your not using these tools then you are just not using your brain properly.  I generally do not use mine properly, hence my first blog post, but that's part of the reason your reading this.  There is always a team behind success and I am proud to be on team ANNA!  In any team situation someone has to be willing to do the work and someone has to have a fully operational brain for it to work.  Plan and Strategie, Seek and Destroy that is our M.O. right now.  There is not a plan B.  


     We are hunkered down and making our plans now for this upcoming year and they are big plans, cause u know it is time for the invasion of Glen Landing.  We have come so far from the begining and we now  have the confidence from our peers that we have a marketable product.  We are in constant thought of asking questions like how can we, when should we, or who should we, and so on... 


   So with any successful business venture we need the help and guidance of all willing parties and at all times.  If you have any ideas of things that we should be doing or something we arn't doing right, please enlighten us with your information.  We are sponges that take it all in and appreciate the time and effort of all the people that help us out.  If have so much more to say....Stay tuned for more blog post by us Dan singer/guitarist/drums and Anna pianoandbass/singer. Love u world  PS please get warm i am freezing in south jersey!!

Ania's Thoughts

I have seen the ocean nice and lovely in the morning. Sparkling, fresh, light blue. I saw the ocean the killer, with thick dark clouds and black-blue water. Sometimes it's gray, sometimes it is illuminated by the prettiest shades of blue.  It's never the same every day, every hour, every minute. I love, it is my inspiration.

Spending the end of the year and the begginning of the new year at the shore is  a dream coming true! I just have visited  this Beast, it is dark, and the white foamy waves are shining through the night. It is very loud and powerful. Perfect pre-New-Year's Father Ocean!

So many things to think about.  About a fresh start, about the accomplished things... I think I am happy. So many marvelous and magic things happened. We wrote Bubble Gum! This is definitely the highlight of my year 2011. May be I sound silly, but this is how I really feel!!! I never felt about a song like this before, and I really wanted the special song, that ONE song, and it came to me, to us!!!!

So, let's think around what is the New 2012 Year bringing us......

Thank you for reading!
See you at the next post, friend!!!

Sincerely, Ania

Tranquility and Paths

How we met David Ivory!!

We have been working with our producer David Ivory for about 6 month by now. How did it all happen?

Me playing Wurlitzer...



Well, one day Chuck Treece invited Dan to go to NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Science OR Grammys!!) ) meeting in Philadelphia. It was great time! Dan found himself in a hall full of people "who is who in music biz"  in Philadelphia area. And all they were talking is about music and music business!! Yeah, sounds great! The president of Philadelphia NARAS, David Ivory, was speaking and was directing the meeting. I remember later that day Dan was telling me about this guy, David Ivory, the "man.

So that's how we became a part of Philadelphia NARAS Chapter. I met David Ivory for the first time at the Puck , a lovely place for live music in beautiful Doylestown, PA. He has showcases there. I got paralyzed and just smiled :) then we gave him our debut CD "Sentimental". Vow!! We just talked to DAVID IVORY!!!

Time was going by and we started taking part in different music conferences. One of the best ones and my favorite was Dewey Beach Music Conference in 2010. It was the end of September. Everything took place literally on the beach... It was beautiful!!

Mmm, isn't this amazing?

Atlantic ocean... My love...


We were running around trying to absorb everything that was going on, meeting people, non-stop talking... All of a sudden, in a hallway we bump into - OMG  - David Ivory!! He recognizes us, and greets. Then he said: "I really like you album! No, i really really like your album!!" And it all began there!!

He said he hears things, it's THERE,  and he wants everybody to hear it as well. And then he simply said, "Come to my studio! We'll talk, we'll play .."
At the studio, playing Wurlitzer for Holiday song


And this small episode in Glen Landing story is probably our first turning point.

Thank you for reading!
Sincerely, Ania

Если ты сейчас смотришь сумерки...

Привет! Интересно кто Ты кто сейчас читает эти строчки. Решила писать по-русски!

Сумерки, смотрят в окно. День застыл. На небе светло-серое одеяло туч. А может это на самом деле зимний рассвет?

И еще тишина.

Не могу дождатся когда мы поедем к океану! Зимой он совсем другой, как спящий медведь. Там, на зимнем пляже, никого нет и можно делать все что хочешь!




Да, этим мы и займемся в ближайшее время! И я вам расскажу какими шэйди вещами я там занималась :)

Спасибо, что разделяешь со мной эту минуту застывшую и пойманную в сети, пространстве ...

А Н Я


P.s. Love that feature on the blogspot to translate posts!!!!!! So go ahead, and translate it if u like!!! ;) Ania
