Another good day today!
I got some of the piles squared away in the studio. Nice to get some things put back into magazine files in some semblance of order. Now I just need to hunt down some labels for the front of the files so that I can stash them all someplace a little more efficiently, and still know what ended up where.
After that, I went back and forth between wanting to do some more work out of the Blues Goldmine book, and working on one of the songs I had picked out a few days back. I had the backing riff to "I'm Tore Down" underneath my fingers for a while, but eventually went in a different direction and worked on Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter." That song has always been one that has good karma for me. I've never really dedicated myself to mastering it, even though it has long been on my list of things to learn. And yet, every time I have picked it up, it has come together pretty well. The solo included. So, yeah, I played along with the recording tonight, and it was sloppy, but I made it all the way through. Then I went back and started working out some of the details, mostly in the solo and the outro sections. With some work and some polish, I think it will come together well.
Don't know what it is about this week, but it feels like things on the music side just keep falling together.
We're off to the DSM tomorrow, so it might be both an early post, and an album/article review post for tomorrow. I've got a few ideas, so we shall see.
