Guitar leads were recorded tonight. Whether the guitar stayed in tune or not is open to debate.

Is this the cover for my RPM Challenge album? Could be.

Potential titles:

Super Moon

Spooky

The Spooky

My attempt at a video failed miserably.

My first wireless charger seems to have died and gone to that big charger pad in the sky. Sad face.

I was trying to write lyrics and I was stuck like you’ve read about.  Nothing was coming to me.  I needed outside inspiration.  I Googled “New England ghost stories” and found this boston.com article and next thing you know I’ve got three songs.

I just finished mixing the third song.  It’s got me thinking…

I am still holding out hope of finishing a double album this year.  20 songs or 70 minutes instead of 10 songs and 35 minutes.  What if one of those albums was all New England ghost stories?  What if disc one of The White Album had been a concept, or a theme album?  Could I pull that off?

It’s the last day of my mini vacation, so getting some guitars down while I still can. Back to work tomorrow.

Three songs finished.  There are 13 more in progress.  I need to finish at least seven more for a total of 10, but I’d like to get that total up to 20.  We’ll see.

This cheap little Vox Wah-Wah pedal has been one of my closest friends this February, and there is a lot of togetherness still to come before month’s end.

 

It’s a nice little Wah-Wah. I bought it because it was the cheapest one I could find online that wasn’t obviously a toy. The Wah I keep on my pedal board at the band’s rehearsal space is a really expensive Fulltone Clyde Deluxe. Best. Wah. Ever. I needed one to keep at home though and I didn’t want to break the bank on the back up.

As good as this little sucker has been to me over the past two weeks, I’ve seriously considered running over to one of my local music stores and picking up a Dunlop CryBaby. That was my Wah of choice for nearly 30 years and I’m sort of missing it every time I step on the Vox. Oh well. I told myself the Vox was the go-to for February. I’ll stick to that.
