Day Forty Six (Year Four)

Well, everything that found a way to be a thorn in my side yesterday got solved today.  Here's what that all entails:

1) The second bookshelf got moved into the studio.
2) The turntable got hooked up.

and

3) With the exception of a few piles of things that didn't fit on the shelves (and a couple of other small organizational things), the setting up of the studio is done and everything's in useable condition!  It's so great to have both the floor space to spread things out, and the table space to work on an individual project.

I want to take tomorrow to see if I can't iron out some of those small problems before I post pictures, but all told, I'm really happy with how it has turned out.

About the only thing that hasn't been finished off in there yet is, funnily enough, the first thing I started in on.  Yep, the CDs still aren't all put away.  However, two more CD racks that look to be somewhat similar to what I already have got ordered today, so as soon as they get here, the rest of the music will be shelved.

Here's the fun part: I've been holding off on cracking open that Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness box set I snagged at Exclusive as a celebratory "Hooray, the studio is functional" treat for myself, so yeah, I get to break into that tomorrow.

Today's accomplishments were really satisfying, but like I've said all week: tomorrow is when the real fun begins.

Day Two Hundred Six (Year Four)

Today was the first official day of the second half of my "album-in-a-month" challenge. As for today's goals, I wanted to see what I could get done in regards to track order, and get at least a little bit of a start on the lyric writing process. I spent more time working on the track order question than I did on the lyrics today, but as a result of that, I ended up with something that I think will work in terms of order. I did sit with the notebook for a few minutes at the very end of the day, and got a solid starting line of lyric and some other ideas that I hope will be jumping off points for lyrics. What I'm thinking I might do, however, is switch my focus from the lyric writing part of the process directly to the recording part of the process.  That way, if I can get the music recorded and burned onto a CD, I can take the music with me in the car, and listen and try to see what images and thoughts the music brings up.  It's a tactic that has worked for...

Day Eighty Two (Year Four)

Today was the day.  Not only did I celebrate a year of being married, I also got to go and get my ukulele!  I wound up getting one of those "all in one" packs that came with a gig bag and a DVD.                                              The picture is generic, I know, but it gets the point across.  While I was there, I picked up a book of Bob Dylan songs for the uke, as well as a Jim Croce songbook for guitar.  We also got the Mrs. a set of claves.                                                 ...

Day Two Hundred Ninety Two (Year Five)

Today was the last seminary village cookout of the year. While we were all sitting around the picnic tables eating dinner, I got a chance to talk with a few of the Mrs.'s classmates about guitar related stuff. As it turns out, more than one of them wants to be more proficient on guitar. I'm not saying that this will lead to more teaching opportunities, but I told one of them that I would throw a folder together for them. Essentially, anytime I get a chance to talk shop is a great chance for me to reinforce some of the things I have been focusing on. If nothing else, it gets me thinking ahead to tomorrow's day off and a chance to get into the studio for a decent amount of time.
