Day Three Hundred Thirty Four (Year Five)

Another night without much in the way of work on "Red House." 
  
I may look at it for a bit before I head off to bed, but I really wanted to make it through the rest of the iTunes library tonight, just to make sure that everything was there.  It is.  Now all that I have to do in order to finish off that part of my summer is to ensure the presence of all of my purchases from the iTunes store over the years.  Then I can actually get back to adding in some of the new music.

True enough, the last couple of nights have been quiet, playing-wise, but what I'm really looking forward to is the way that the middle through the end of the week sets up.  I've got a short-ish day tomorrow, a day off on Thursday, and then one day of work until the weekend.  Things are setting up nicely for an extended stretch of time in the studio.

That's really all I've got today.  More tomorrow, and better.

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

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
