If yesterday felt big, I'm not sure what that means for today.
Jason sent some messages from the train this morning as he was listening. His initial reaction? He wants to start with the very first song we ever wrote and recorded. He said he knows it isn't a single, but he hears a lot of potential in it, and sees it as a starting point for seeing what it is we can accomplish. He thinks that we are best served starting out slowly and working our way up to the bgger stuff. He hears the two that B. and I thought were singles as singles (which is awesome).
He also suggested breaking up the Double Drop D progression and trying to make it into two different songs. I think he's right about that one, truthfully. We've had that progression for 4+ years, and we've never really gotten lyrics over it. He broke down the first few parts of that progression into sosmething completely different than what I considered to be the main part of the song. Also, we've got a rough demo of a piano part for a different song, that J. suggested might sound cool behind the main progression for Double Drop D.
He also turned me on to a cool way for us to share files. It's a program called Dropbox that will allow people to access the files as needed and send some things back and forth. We also figured out tonight that the three of us will be able to use three-way-calling on Skype. So now we have a solid way for communication and an easier way to share files that will hopefully result in less CDs having to be burned.
Oh, and I talked to a regular customer today who owns a small printing company, and he said small runs of things are their specialty, so I'm pondering having him do shirts & hats for the band at some point.
So, yeah, I'm sure there's stuff I'm leaving out here, and if I am, I'll add it in tomorrow.
