Still no Trio setlist...
That aside, I had an interestingly productive day musically... I sat with the electric for a good portion of the afternoon and evening, and just tried to work my way through one of the ideas on the list. As it turned out, I wound up working on two things, but such is life, I guess. The odd thing was, it seems that the two ideas fit together, which I never would have expected if I hadn't stumbled across it myself. This is good news, because it potentially takes the number of songs we'll have for definite (or at least as close to definite as I'm willing to go right now) use on the record down from 12 to 11, which is to me a better number for an album. Strange, I know, but true.
Started to hear the music in my head for both the opening of the album, and the song I was working on today as well. That's always an exhilarating experience, and a scary one too, because it brings back the old fears about not being able to reproduce what I hear in my head...
I'm also starting to develop an idea in my head regarding track order that is radically different from what I had been thinking before. I thought about it all day, and somehow managed to stop short of actually writing it out, which is rare for me. Something tells me that, at least at this point, it's a better option to just sort of hold it in my head and piece it together slowly.
Got the Trio poster put into the frame, and read a bunch of the Keith Richards bio too. Almost done with that. A good day all around.
