Day Seventy Three (Year Three)

Taught a make-up lesson tonight for my student who missed her lesson on Tuesday.  There was a quiz on note identification, and she got 10/10!

Played around with the RP100 for a while today.  Wanted to make sure that it worked just connected to a guitar and a pair of headphones.  Well, it does.  Had some fun with the opening lick to "Stairway."  Never did get around to actually plugging the pedal into my amp (or my recording gear, for that matter) but that's what having a whole Saturday off is good for, right?

Also of note today, it dawned on me yesterday while I was searching for guitar tab for a specific song that, as well organized as all of my music stuff appears to be in the new place, it's not well organized for practical use.  It does me no good to have everything seem in place if I can't find anything when I need to.  Perhaps tomorrow I shall devote my day to re-organizing the giant shelf of music with the goal of making it easier to find things.

Listened to Rattle & Hum by U2 tonight.  After thinking about "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" the other day, I was in the mood to go back and listen to the whole album.  It's such an awesome listen.

That's really all for today.  Tomorrow (I hope) will be a day chock full of rock and roll.

Day Three Hundred Forty (Year Six)

It's done.  Well, okay, so it's 99.5% done, but that's close enough for me. The stereo and the turntable got set up this morning, as I figured they would, and the two bags of randomness (picks, my slide, tuners, etc) and the few small piles of notebooks got dealt with tonight.  I even managed to get the iMac set up, if not fired up. And yet, the studio remains only slightly unfinished.  Somewhere in either the house or the garage, there must be a box or a bag that has a couple of studio-related items tucked into it, because there are at least two things I can't find.  As fate would have it, they're important things, too.  And something tells me that they're all in one place.  I'm missing: 1.  My looping pedal 2.  The power cable for my Marshall 3.  The foot switch for the Marshall They're all things that would have been in the same general area in the old studio, but given how much of the house we've gotten set up already, it really surpris

Day Two Hundred Forty One (Year Eight)

Holy shit.  I knew it had been a good number of days since I'd posted, but I didn't think for a second that it had been NINE of them... the last week and a half has been a blur, so let me see if I can catch myself up: 1.  It was spring break week last week, so in theory I should have been able to get a lot of good work in, but there was family here all week long, and staying with us.  It was great to see them all, but it didn't leave an awful lot of time for hiding away in the studio. 2.  My Dad and my Brother were here at the end of that time, though, and we got a chance to talk through a bit of the plan for the hootenanny that Dad wants to throw this summer, so that was good. 3.  New Decemberists record came in the mail today.  I'm listening now, but am hoping to spend a lot more time with it over the weekend. I've felt disconnected and off for great parts of the last week, even with people here.  It's no wonder, considering I haven't posted here.
