Life's A Beach!

Just a reminder that Tristan Prettyman is on Twitter. I’ve been on Twitter for quite awhile and I love it, so naturally I was glad to see Tristan sign up for an account awhile back. However, she only tweeted a few times but I am happy to say that she is back with a bang tweetin’ it up! Follow Tristan now!

Alright, so the title may be a bit over dramatic but in Tristan’s latest MySpace blog post she responses to a fan’s letter to her asking if Tristan is “drifting away from us [the fans]“. Below is the letter to Tristan:

Dear Tristan,
I feel as if you are drifting from us. For whatever reason it is, I thoroughly support it. But I just want to let you know that I miss you. The frequent updates and occasional sneak peek to your latest song and going on. However, I think it may be a good thing that we don’t hear from you as often. I hope that you are having a wonderful time. With life, with loved ones, with the holidays. You’ve worked hard! Much love,
Brittany

Tristan begins her reply with:

Yes i am drifting a little bit, I’m a bit lost…don’t really know what lies ahead, what i want to do next.

She goes on with her reply to Brittany speaking of her record label, radio, her thoughts, her boyfriend, friends and family, her feelings about this latest tour and what she wants right now in her life and the future. I have never heard [in her blogs] Tristan speak this way about writing and putting out music. She uses the words “restless” and “lifeless”. She says that she was only truly happy [on her latest tour/promo] when she was playing for people that were real fans.

Although this blog post made me realize that Tristan may never come out with a new album ever again and I may never see her play live again it really confirmed my thoughts on her playing for the love of the music and the enjoyment. It confirms that when she comes out after a show she really wants to, when she writes on her message board it’s because she wants to, when she writes her lyrics she truly feels them and she’s not writing for anyone else or anything else.

Bottom Line:

I honestly do think Tristan will eventually write and play music again but it seems as though she would just be rather doing other things at the moment. No one can blame her for that! If Tristan never comes out with another song I will be fine. Sure, I want to keep listening to the way her voice and music grow but she has given us tons of awesome music already and no one can ever take that away!

Tristan ends her post by saying:

The only way to get where I’m going, is to get going. So off into the world I go. I hope I never drift very far, I love ya all too much. I guess all I can say is, I hope you are here when I return. Im sure i’ll have some good stories, and i’ll surely want to hear all yours

I’ll be there! Will you?

Also take a look at the Tabs thread on her official message board. There, you will find guitar tabs for her songs! If there is a tabbed Tristan Prettyman song out there, it will be in this thread! Do you tab? Come contribute! Are you wanting to learn how to play like Tristan, come visit! : )

Still don’t want to take a look at the message board? Well, there’s also a thread dedicated to leave notes to Tristan. Tristan also leaves posts every so often in her own little section on the message board. It seems as though Tristan have gravitated towards MySpace and Facebook lately, so she doesn’t post as often but come visit and meet other Tristan fans. She’s bound to come back sooner or later

Ever heard of “smitten like a kitten” or “so hot I need an oven mitten”? That’s a song that she created with her fans on this board!
