Day Fifty Two (Year Four)

So, today was one of those workman-like, productive, if un-spectacular sort of days.  I Put together the second of the CD racks this afternoon, and got both racks in place along what is quickly becoming the "giant wall of CDs."  Then, I got all of the CDs out of the three boxy holders that the Mrs. brought into the musical collection (they had been housing everything from Hendrix down through Duke Ellington), and got all of those CDs onto the new racks.  From there, I still have room to pull from the spinners that had the rest of D down through A.

What does that all mean?  It means that I'm fairly convinced that everything that's left CD-wise will end up fitting into the spinners when all is said and done!

It also means that I'm at the point again where things will be looking worse in the studio before they look better... but they won't be looking worse for much longer!  I'm hoping that by the end of tomorrow, all of the music will be sorted and organized, and that I can then get back to the other piles of stuff that are taking up floor space in the studio... the stuff for the lesson binder.

Tomorrow needs to be a big day.  There are so many things that feel on the verge of coming together.  If I can get the following done tomorrow, it will be a total win:

1) Get the rest of the music sorted out.
2) Get some work in on the lesson binder.
3) Get some practicing in.

Wish me luck.

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 Ninety Three (Year Four)

Big day today, for a few reasons... First off, it was a good night in the studio.  As opposed to the recent sessions that have had a singular focus (either theory-related, or acoustic/set list related), tonight had a little bit of both things in it.  When I hit the studio tonight, I fully expected to pick up the electric and work out a bit more theory studying, much like things have gone for the last week or so.  Knowing that, I somehow ended up with the acoustic in my hands, working through a little bit of Brandi Carlile.  More specifically, two songs of hers that I have always loved, "Wasted," and "Fall Apart Again," but until tonight, never taken the time to sit down and learn.  I have a songbook with everything from the first three records, and it took me until tonight to sit down and take a look at working through some of these things. In a related note, I really feel like the last year has been so very good for my confidence, musically.  There are some p
