Day Seventy Three (Year Eight)

My brother was here today.

We talked about a lot of music stuff, and just got to hang out for a while. I needed that way more than I needed some of the other stuff we could have gotten to.

I spent a bit of time picking his brain about my Beatles and Zeppelin studies, and am feeling better about where those might be heading.

All told, today was a most excellent day.

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 Twenty Nine (Year Eight)

It's been a couple days.  A couple of quiet days, and honestly, today wasn't much louder.  About the only good news is that I'm on spring break thanks to where I work, so hopefully there will be a good bit of time to actually sit down and work on finishing these songs. Granted, I do have family coming in almost all week, but there's got to be some down time in there somewhere, right?  They're not showing up til Monday, though, so maybe the rest of the weekend can be solid.  Wish me luck, I might just need it.
