Day Three Hundred Forty (Year Five)

I felt slightly overwhelmed this past weekend.  Lately it has just seemed like there aren't enough hours in the day, and I feel like I'm falling farther and farther behind on things.  With that being the case, I took a break from "Red House" tonight, and let myself start the last piece of the iTunes puzzle before I can fully consider myself musically moved into the new(ish) laptop... I put the two computers up side by side, pulled up iTunes in both of them, and started wading through to see what songs didn't make the initial transfer over to the new laptop.  Not surprisingly, I've found a decent amount already, and I'm only at the very beginning of "C."

My plan is to keep picking away at this slowly throughout the rest of the week, while fitting in the Hendrix and other playing around it, and then (hopefully) finish it up by the end of the weekend, burning CDs and getting everything transferred over.

Once that's done, my plan is to take everything that's not music related off of the old laptop, and move it into the studio.  I'm not optimistic enough that I'll be able to load ProTools onto it or anything, I just think that it might be of some use in there.

That's really all I've got today.  In spite of the lack of playing, I'm feeling pretty good with where I stand at the end of Monday.

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
