Got the call today that the record I had ordered (Lucy Wainwright Roche's There's A Last Time For Everything) had come in. Only took a day. Which was awesome, because it let me swing in and grab the other two records I mentioned last night:
1) New - Paul McCartney
and
2) Let's Be Still - The Head & The Heart
With those purchases, I think I'm done for a bit. That's a lot of new music in the last week, and I'll need some time to absorb it all.
Besides, I've got a lot of playing to do.
I think buying the ukelele has freshened everything up for me. Learning new chord forms has put a shine back onto basic major chords. Everything I've played the last couple of days has had an extra bit of zip to it, which really makes me want to write again. Friday's looking wide open right now, hopefully I can take a block of time and try to write something new.
As for the playing side of things today, I spent a bit of time with the ukulele, and printed out a couple more songs that I thought might be fun to learn on it, before switching back to guitar for the rest of the night. Once there, I ran through the Guitar Aerobics lick of the day, and then spent a bit of time running some riffs and scale fragments.
It was a good night. I've got a lot of things to finish up in the days between now and the weekend, a lot of little musical projects that I've started this week need polishing off, but that just means that the next few days will be full of music and productivity, which will be awesome.
