So, I took the night off from Songs & Solos.
Some voice in the back of my mind told me that I might be due for a 24 hour break from it, and for once, I decided to listen.
Instead of trying to work on that tonight, I sat down and learned "Ol 55" by Tom Waits, which was in the newest issue of Acoustic Guitar. I had heard it as an Eagles tune, but never fully appreciated it until Tom's solemn growl from his debut record. It's a great song, and one that definitely needs to be in my repertoire.
Aside from that, I did a bit of listening, and made a bit of progress in the Tom Petty bio that has seemingly taken over for the Jerry Lee Lewis in the last week or so.
Not a bad day by any stretch, but the studio was definitely the high point for me.
