First things first... finally got the ipod charged up and loaded with all of the new music I've imported in the last week. Feels good to have that done, it's been on my mind for the last few days.
Got down to business on the resource bookshelf today. Initially, I tried to find a box (we're moving in a month and a half, there are a lot of them in the house right now) that would hold my file folders that I picked up yesterday. Was unsuccessful in that regard. Everything was either too shallow or not quite wide enough. What I'll probably end up doing is just buying a file cabinet once we get to Dubuque. Saw some cheap-ish ones (price-wise) when we were out yesterday. Besides, why buy it here and then have to turn around and move it? Still, I managed to sort through a lot of the magazines that were on the shelf, and some obvious categories (i.e. stuff on lead guitar, rhythm guitar, etc.) started to come forward. Moved some of those things from the shelf to an extra magazine file that I had lying around. Probably the biggest project (that I'll save for Dubuque) is to go through all of the magazines and create a definitive list of all the songs that have been tabbed out. Makes sense to sort them first by name of publication, and then by year.
Watched some music today, too. Last Summer On Earth Tour, with Cracker, Big Head Todd, Blues Traveler, and Barenaked Ladies had a show on DirecTV that we recorded. Mini-sets by all four bands.
Progress today, which was good, and an afternoon off tomorrow to focus more on playing than sorting.
