A good day. I put vocals on four songs. Then I wrote lyrics and melodies and added vocals to two more songs. Then I mixed three songs. No guitar playing, but a good day indeed.

I have mixed three songs today. That means the total number of completed demoes of new songs for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge is up to 27. 54% complete.

I’ll share the least awful of them all. This is yet another attempt to make 3/4 time rock. I guess it’s almost successful, but I am pretty sure I’ve written exactly this song multiple times in the past.

I might share the other two songs later, but probably not.

Halfway Done. 45 days down, 45 days to go.

I wrote the lyrics and the melodies for four songs. Not nearly as much as I wanted to get done, but not bad.

Here at the halfway point I have 24 song demoes finished. Five songs are ready to mix. Four songs are ready for vocals. Four songs are ready for lyrics. Two songs are just a handful of little riffs that need to be worked into a song form. That’s a total of 39 songs in the pipeline.

I’m still confident that I’ll get to 50 songs, but life is getting in the way quite a bit right now. I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.

In the 50 songs and 90 days pipeline there are four songs ready for vocals. That’s enough for me to go out and do some car music tomorrow. Vocals recorded in the car in an empty parking lot. The only way I can do it and feel comfortable with the whole singing thing.

If I can just find a way to get two more songs ready tonight then I could have 10 songs started and nearly finished within the month of August. That would be fun, right?

I’ll see if I can swing it. No promises.
