I put lead guitars onto three songs. Tracking is done. Now I just have to mix six songs and then the whole project is done. Time is getting short, but I’ll pull it off.

Go Out and Take Pictures
I have a “new” film camera and I haven’t gone out anywhere to take pictures yet. What the hell am I waiting for? Besides the weather to cooperate and the sun to cooperate and my schedule to cooperate and… and… and…
Haiku for You #217
Thanksgiving Day is,
The best holiday for me,
and it’s almost here!
Noting to Say
I’m wrapping up my lunch break right now. I often throw together a blog post at around this time of day but today… well… I have nothing to write about. I have nothing to say. There is nothing going on.
I’m working at the desk in the cellar instead of the desk in my step son’s bedroom because my step son is home for Thanksgiving break and he’s actually using his room. I’m cold down here in the basement, but I’m always cold. Nothing world shattering there.
Nope, I just don’t have anything worth saying at the moment. Maybe I’ll post a haiku later on or something, but for now?
Nothing. Sorry.
Burning
After playing very little guitar over the course of about two months, I played quite a bit yesterday, and I played hard. My finger tips were hurting in a big way.
This morning I played some more. Again, I played hard. Lots of bending and sliding around. Oh my goodness, my fingers are burning right now. They feel like they are on fire. There is going to be a big blister on my ring finger before the day is out. It’s been over an hour since I finished (I put lead guitars onto the three remaining songs) and it still hurts like it’s a fresh wound. Yikes!
All of the tracking for this year’s National Solo Album Month (NASoAlMo) is done. Now I just have six songs to mix and to figure out what to use for a cover photo and then I am done. Six days left (counting today). I should finish with oodles of time to spare.
2024 NaSoAlMo Day 24/30
I am so close to being done it’s crazy.
I put lead guitars onto four of the seven songs. I wanted to try to sneak in at least one more but my finger tips (and their lack of calluses due to not playing much over the last couple of months) were killing me so I had to stop.
Later, before bed, I mixed one song.
Here’s hoping I can finish tracking the last three lead guitar parts today (day 25). No promises, but it sure would be nice.
The finished songs include:
One Song Down, Six to Go
I mixed a song for the 2024 National Solo Album Month project tonight (aka NaSoAlMo). One song down, six to go.
I still have to add lead guitars to three songs. Once I finish that (tomorrow before work, maybe?) I will be done with tracking. Barring any disasters I should be able to finish this project with plenty of time to spare. Fingers crossed.
How Do I Feel Right Now
One photography that perfectly describes how I feel on this fine Sunday evening…
Be Afraid
Be afraid…
Be very afraid.
Finally Getting Stuff Done
I had a very unproductive morning. I went grocery shopping for some Thanksgiving stuff.
This afternoon, however, was better. My daily exercise is done. I made lunch for my beloved bride. I put lead guitars onto four songs. My fingertips are killing me, but I feel better about the state of the universe right now.
How about some obligatory guitar pictures.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that I played through my amp instead of using a direct input into my USB audio interface.
Now we’re going to order some take out and Harry will be joining us for dinner.
Excellent.
