Skyped with B. for a bit tonight. I wanted to banter back and forth a bit about the conversation I had with R. last night. We decided, collectively, that the issue lies more with all three of us and our level of commitment to getting things finished off in a timely manner. I think that she and I need to figure out exactly what it is we want out of these songs, how we want them to sound, and stand firm on some things while letting him offer suggestions as he sees fit. Basically, we need to be in control of our own band.
I've been so focused on the paper side of putting together the binder that I've forgotten to play for the last few days. Picked up the electric for a little bit today, however, and it was good. Instead of feeling like I was knocking the rust off of my fingers, I could feel them reaching for notes, exploring more than being hesitant, so that was cool.
About the only thing of consequence I got done in relation to the binder today was copying off that sheet from the Berklee application that has the list of things they think an applicant ought to be proficient at. It's a really small step, I'll admit that, but it sets up the goal right at the beginning, which is good.
Not as productive as I had hoped today, but still good. Better tomorrow.
