Day Two Hundred Six (Year Six)

Today was... interesting.  It was a day where I didn't get into the studio as early as I wanted to.  It was then, by default, a day where I didn't spend as much time in the studio as I know I should have.  In truth, it was headed down the path of being a wasted day, which was the last thing I could afford.  In the end, it was that twinge of fear that got me moving, got me into the studio, and got me oh, so close to the 10 that I had hoped to have.  When all was said and done, I ended up having 9 of the 10 on solid ground, with one remaining that is tormenting me.  I'm getting close to the point where I really need to sit down and start thinking about lyrics.

Other things from today included another chapter in the book on grunge, and a really cheesy music movie that I figured I would turn off right away, but somehow watched all of.

Nothing else to report, really.  Today ended up being better than I thought it was going to be a few hours ago, and for that I am very grateful.  Bring on the week.

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 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.

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.                                                 ...
