So, apparently I posted yesterday right as the time changed, effectively missing yesterday and posting twice today. Oh well.
Listened to some of AM on vinyl today... had started it briefly last night before R. and I went out to dinner, but half a song just wasn't enough. I know I've said it before, but there's just a warmer sound on LP than on any other medium.
Still fighting with those blasted two lines in the bridge on one of the newly finished songs. Who knew that finding two lines... even dummy lines to just fill space, could be so blasted tough. I'm off tomorrow, and in between running the couple of errands that need to get done, I've really got to find those lines, if only so I can send the first draft of the lyric to B. I should try and carve out some time to lay down some guitar tracks tomorrow too, so J. doesn't have to be bored.
Other small things that need doing include putting away a few piles of CDs that have accumulated around the apartment, and getting everything I brought home with me put back in its place.
And speaking of home, while I was visiting with C. and her family, her dad brought up the notion of getting back to just learning songs. He's been doing it of late, and I need to start doing it again. I've gotten so caught up in the work on the record since the middle of May, that the actual song-work and improving other areas of my playing has slipped. Can't let that happen. If I'm eventually applying to Berklee, I'll need to be more balanced.
It was so inspiring to see them again. Being around such positive energy just reminds me of all that I can accomplish if I really set my mind to it.
