Guitars at last. Five of the seven songs got all of their rhythm guitar tracks. That’s all I managed for the day, but given it had been almost two months since I played a single note, five songs was enough. Pain. Finger tip pain. That was a thing.
Here’s hoping day 10 will be as productive. Progress, people!
Yesterday I wrote a post about how Jen and I watched a TV show where the cast took a trip to San Diego and it made us really jealous because we seriously want to go back there and spend some serious quality time.
This morning I watched a photography youtube video that included shooting a visit to San Diego. It’s like the universe is just screwing with me now. I want to go back there so badly!
I worked on two more songs today. My finger tips are killing me. Totally worth it.
Don’t they look like they are holding hands? Well, holding paws? Pardon the unmade bed, this was first thing this morning.
I played guitar today. First time in over a month.
My finger tips hurt, but there was no fret buzz on my ES-335. I am happy. I put rhythm guitars onto three of the seven songs I have for this month. Crazy.
Same old same old. I added another song. Full song form with MIDI bass and drums.
I am now up to seven songs. All seven are in 7/8 time. I had this thought early on about taking a bunch of unrelated songs and gluing them together into a big medley. How about this… seven songs in 7/8 time and call the medley, “Sevens.”
That sounds groovy, doesn’t it?
Guitars today… if it kills me.
Jen and I just watched a TV show were a bunch of terrible people took a trip to the beach in San Diego. I went through a bunch of photos from our honeymoon that I took at the same beach. At least I thought it was the same beach but on further review it might not have been.
Anyway, we were both super jealous and wanted to go back to San Diego but we can’t. Our next two trips are already planned and they are both to Florida. San Diego is going to have to wait years. Bummer.
Though, our Florida trips are still pretty good. I mean, other than the state being a breeding ground for nazis and all.
Did I just buy a medium format film camera from eBay?
I think I did. Who knows.
If I did, it would be one of these:
Just in case you were wondering if I am still constantly thinking about Tuesday’s total disaster or not…
I feel so bad for
My step daughter and my wife
Our country fails them
There’s a line in a Jefferson Airplane song that I always thought was absolutely brutal. It referred to the war so it doesn’t exactly relate to our current situation:
War’s good business so give your son
And I’d rather have my country die for me(from Rejoice, written by Grace Slick)
That second line… for the first time in my life I sort of get it. I think I would say I’d rather have my country die for them then for me, but you get the idea. I’m paraphrasing here.
Yesterday was a long, exhausting day.
Today’s agenda calls for more of the same. I’m a touch over nine hours from the weekend though. Hang in there, working folks.
