Day Three Hundred Thirty Seven (Year Six)

Finally got myself a good bit of time to spend in the studio, and as I suspected would happen, the pieces seem to be falling into place with some quickness. 

I've got all of the books put on shelves, and have moved on to sorting the magazines.  They're blocked out by title, and at least a little bit by year so far, but that part of the project remains unfinished for today.  I'm hoping to get at least close to finishing that off tomorrow, which will leave only the stereo and recording gear to set up, and then a couple boxes of randomness that got hastily packed at the last minute. 

Good day today, if not the complete finishing of the studio I had been hoping for.

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.                                                 ...
